, Northern Ireland and northern England. Following this the temperatures returned to around average for many and below average for northern areas. Scotland in particular saw cooler than average temperatures in the second half of the month. On the 22nd, the 12th named storm of the season arrived: Storm Lilian

, but how unusual is it? Author: Press Office 2 October 2025 Storm Amy has been named by the Met Office as the first storm of the 2025/26 season. As it approaches the UK, Amy is expected to bring a spell of very strong winds and heavy rain, particularly affecting northern and western regions

North Sea. Much of eastern England receives less than 700mm of rainfall per year and includes the driest areas of the UK. Average rainfall amounts are spread relatively evenly across the seasons due to the region’s distance away from Atlantic depressions, combined with higher rates of summer

are few, so we use proxy observations (see ‘What do the projections show in recent climate?’ for more details). In the recent climate (1980-2000), the Global PPE-15 and Regional RCM-12 models agree well with the proxy observations in terms of duration and magnitude of the summer dry season, but show

will still see a very wet day, especially in north Wales and north England. “Storm Antoni will also bring strong winds to a swathe of Wales, southwest England and southern coastal areas of England. The strongest winds will affect parts southwest England and southwest Wales where exposed coasts and high

   So far this summer, rainfall is tracking below average, with 72% of the of the whole summer’s long-term average recorded. At this point in the season, you’d expect 93%. There is of course much regional variation, with central, southern and eastern parts of England and Wales so far especially dry

).    Since COP26, CLARE has become one of the most prominent research programmes in Climate Adaptation and Resilience globally. So far, 24 research projects are underway involving 136 organisations in 38 countries, three quarters of which in Africa and Asia. CLARE is developing research benefiting 30

of annual indices have also been calculated and gridded. These were derived from daily temperature (T) or precipitation data using the following definitions: • Growing Season Length (GSL) = period (days) bounded by daily T_mean > 5 °C and < 5 °C (after 1 st July) for ≥ 6 days. • Heating Degree Days

regions, especially in the northern part of the continent, weather conditions can change rapidly and a short dry spell can still lead to high fire activity even during a wetter than average season - please see Figure 8a showing fire trends and accumulated hot pixels in the Technical Information section

for understanding climate variability in East Asia on timescales of seasons to decades and to assist in collaborative attribution studies of extreme events. Model development is at the core of CSSP China. Longer-term goals include joint development of high-resolution models for the East Asian
