  to the surface the issues around communicating a ‘deterministic’ forecast. Many extension officers simply communicated that the season would be ‘wet’ and therefore the farmers should invest in crops. One particular group misunderstood the forecast, and farmers interpreted the 40% chance of ‘wet’ as being a 60

• How Met Office forecasts supported the UK through a largely dry Spring

So just how did the Met Office forecast develop and how was it used? We take a look… Light on warnings but not on some impacts Spring can typically be a season

A further factor that greatly affects the rainfall distribution is altitude. Moist air that is forced to ascend hills

• July 2019: a month in UK climate statistics

  on from a largely wet June, northern England and the Midlands have now received more than the season’s usual rainfall, with August still to go. Tim Legg, of the Met Office’s National Climate Information Centre, said: “With an all-time temperature record it would be easy to assume that this summer
