back to 1884. In a month that was wet and dull for many, people certainly didn’t feel that May was a record breaking month. But what could cause such a disconnect between perception and statistical reality? New analysis In new analysis, Met Office scientists have looked at what caused such anomalously

results, referred to as the “new” projections. The maps presented here cover all four seasons, whereas those in Harris et al (2022) were mainly restricted to winter and summer. Here, we show projected changes for the RCP4.5 scenario during 2040-2059 as well as covering RCP8.5 responses for 2070-2089

unpredictable for a while now, the traditional seasons have changed, the wet season that was expected between February and March is no longer consistent. Livestock has been affected, with huge losses reported from the surrounding Kraals too. The animals do not fetch good prices at the market because

Zone 3 is projected to be hotter on average, potentially wetter in the wet season, and potentially drier September-November. • High confidence for a warming of 1.5-4°C in annual mean temperature in the 2050s

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

Scottish Highlands. The course of mean monthly rainfall for 1981 - 2010 for 4 sites is shown below. Whilst rainfall is generally welldistributed through the year, there is a seasonal pattern. The driest season is spring whilst in the wetter upland areas there is an autumn/winter maximum, when

-year anniversary of the project launch, on Saturday 26 March, these records have now been made publicly available in the official Met Office national record, extending it back 26 years to 1836. The volunteers’ efforts have revealed some new records for extreme dry and wet months across the UK

Understanding how temperatures rise and fall through the day is an important part of how we describe and forecast weather.
