decade 2015-2024, the number of months where counties are recording monthly rainfall totals of at least twice the 1991-2020 monthly average has increased by over 50% compared to the number in 1961-1990. As the UK’s climate warms, it is also becoming wetter, with this report showing that the increase

Shortening of growing season for key crops (e.g. cereals and vegetables) planted in October/November and harvested between June and August. Off-season crops - typically summer vegetables - planted

and in the southernmost counties, where almost half the population lives. Wales has an essentially maritime climate, characterised by weather that is o en cloudy, wet and windy but mild. However, the shape of the coastline and the central spine of high ground from Snowdonia southwards to the Brecon Beacons introduce

precipitation in recent decades. • Over land the projected general trends of climate 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

it into context by casting our minds back to winter; a season traditionally regarded as a recharge period for the UK’s water supplies. UK rainfall over winter was down compared with average, with only 83% of average rainfall being recorded for the UK. This relative shortfall in a key period fuelled hopes

and rainfall, with the southerly coastal regions being cooler and wetter and the northern areas being hotter and drier as they get closer to the Sahel. Observations from 1981-2010 show a moderate increasing trend in temperature compared to other regions of the world, but as the region has a narrow climatic

of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This occurs because La Niña cools the ocean temperature and modifies tropical weather patterns, making many land regions wetter and allowing plants to grow better and absorb more CO2.  2016 saw a record rise due to a near-record El Niño event in addition to high

of a particular place is often described in seasonal periods (e.g. summer/ winter or rainy/ dry season) over the cycle of the year.   The climate can also naturally vary between different years due to the process of Earth system cycles, especially those associated with large circulations of the oceans
