has changed. We are not changing the visual appearance of our forecasts on our website and app. The main benefits of the new data are: improvements to our temperature forecasts more accurate weather symbols greater accuracy in the likelihood of rain, hail and snow

Showers are the type of weather that give us rain, sleet, snow or hail in an almost random fashion. They are a form of convective precipitation that occurs when air rises over land or sea, unlike cold, warm or occluded fronts (dynamic precipitation) that depend on different air masses colliding

the under surface can present the appearance of nimbostratus. The character of the precipitation may be of assistance in identifying the cloud. Cumulonimbus gives showers, very often quite heavy for comparatively short periods of time. If hail, thunder or lightning are observed then, by convention

. Although many areas will miss the downpours, thunderstorms are likely to develop in the area bringing torrential rain, frequent lightning, large hail and gusty winds. Where the heavy rain does fall could see between 20-30mm of rain within 1-2 hours.   The yellow warning suggests some quick flooding

the cloud. Cumulonimbus gives showers, very often quite heavy for comparatively short periods of time. If hail, thunder or lightning are observed then, by convention, the cloud is cumulonimbus. The evolution of the cloud can also aid identification. The change from large cumulus with domed tops

rainfall radar network, we can now gain more real-time information from falling precipitation – rain, sleet, snow, hail and ice pellets – than ever before, including the size and shape of the droplets. The seven-year roll out of the new radar network across the UK was motivated by the need
