is the National Meteorological Service of the UK, and is backed up by the Toulouse VAAC operated by Meteo France. Reciprocally the London VAAC backs-up the Toulouse VAAC for dispersion of volcanic ash originating from volcanoes in continental Europe, western Asia and Africa. This document explains the current

reduces with increasing latitude as the ITCZ reaches its maximum northerly extent. The most northern areas of Sudan receive virtually no rainfall. Wet season rainfall totals are highly variable from year-to-year due to large-scale dynamics in the climate system, such as the El Niño Southern Oscillation

does not change the UKCP18 headline message of a greater chance of warmer, wetter winters and hotter, drier summers across the UK in future (Murphy et al, 2018). For 2061-80, under a high greenhouse gas emissions scenario (RCP8.5), the update suggests winters will be warmer by 3.3°C (2.0-3.5°C) 2

. Figure 1. Radar imagery showing a vigorous depression situated to the south of the UK. Sometimes large stationary anticyclones become established near the UK and they ‘block’ the passage of depressions. These anticyclones are most common in spring but can occur in all seasons — sometimes they can

. We also use a blend of other weather models to estimate the timing of drizzle and light intermittent rain or fog, given that transitioning between dry and wet conditions is critical for forecasting low adhesion.  Our forecasts range from very detailed information showing specific rainfall amounts

with warmer weather and brighter days should visit Prague in the summer months, where temperatures reach the pleasant mid-20s. Visitors should be prepared for wet weather however, as summer  also sees the most rainfall. Prague also has a Christmas market which is a key part of the festive magic

changes in the 21 st century are similar to UKCP09, with a move towards warmer, wetter winters and hotter, drier summers. However, natural variations mean that some cold winters, some dry winters, some cool summers and some wet summers will still occur. • The probabilistic projections show

these daily rainfall grids. Instead, various derived quantities are available, by season and year, as summarised in Appendix 1. Data Source The station data were extracted from the Data Components database, which is a part of the Met Office climate data archive and contains a simplified version

emissions of greenhouse gases, the more we can avoid the most severe impacts of climate change.”  Climate change may also lead to wetter conditions in some places, as warmer air can hold more moisture, which can affect fuel availability and flammability.    Latest Climate Science of Wildfire  A new

about contingency measures. At the same time it will help them develop definite strategies for dealing with the more likely outcome of flooding seasons. Providing this type of probabilistic climate information requires a good understanding of the drivers of Asian monsoon and how they will change
