, including columns and plates. The refraction phenomena that can be generated by such crystals are well-described in many sources. The theory is given by Liou and Takano (1989). These light-refracting processes lead to the formation of a number of haloes and other optical phenomena. The most commonly

slowly southeastwards between the 17th and 19th. Persistent light rain affected some northern counties on the 17th, but it was dry and sunny in the south-east. An area of heavier persistent rain moved north-eastwards across most of the country on the 18th, followed by thunderstorms overnight 18th

and southern counties, brightest in the south-east, but cloudier elsewhere, with patchy light rain mainly in the north-west. The 6th was windy, starting with patchy rain in many places, but a band of locally heavy rain spread from the north-west during the afternoon, reaching the south-east by early

Sea coasts, though this is expected to be patchy. Winds will be generally light across much of the country, although the far northwest may experience moderate to strong breezes at times. Temperatures will be widely very warm, with inland areas of England, Wales, and eastern Scotland turning hot

, they are largely CORRECT This is because high pressure tends to lead to good weather. High pressure traps dust and dirt in the air, which scatters blue light, only leaving the red light remaining – hence the reddish appearance of the sky. It can be too cold to snow 62% believe this fact – but it’s

will be light to moderate for most, but it will remain widely cold, especially away from windward coasts. Temperatures on Friday will struggle to rise, with inland areas seeing highs of just 4 to 6°C. Over high ground from northern England northwards, and where there is snow cover in Scotland, temperatures

cover and a scattering of mainly light showers, with the chance of an odd moderate shower near southern coasts. Temperatures on Tuesday will be around normal for the time of year, with values a degree or so either side of average. Central and eastern England can expect highs in the low twenties

warm weather, with temperatures between 21-23°C, locally reaching up to 24°C. However, far northern and northwestern Scotland will experience cloudier conditions with light rain and drizzle likely later in the day. Showers may develop during the afternoon across central and northern Scotland

Scotland pulling away to the west. Some showers are also possible over Central and Eastern England with light winds for most with temperatures near or slightly above normal, so feeling nice in any sunshine. A showery picture is likely for much of the bank holiday weekend with Easter Sunday looking
