increase and the number of days exceeding 35°C (40°C) is projected to increase by 15-35 (0-5) days per year across the zone. • There is no decisive trend for whether Zone 5 will become wetter or drier, although there is evidence for a small delay to the start of the rainy season. Year-to-year

-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

of next week (w/c 6th Feb), especially for parts of the south and east of England. High pressure is expected to build and settle over or near to the south of the UK allowing colder air from continental Europe to cross the country. This high-pressure system will act to block the predominantly wet

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

Strong winds and flooding from storm Angus, November 2016 The first named storm of the 2016-2017 season brought some damaging winds to the south coast, accompanied by heavy rain causing flooding mainly across parts of south-west England. Gusts in exposed coastal locations reached 60 to 70 Kt (69

of these extreme events continue to rise as long as we continue to emit greenhouse gases. The science is clear that the faster we reduce our 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

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

a number of brief hot spells, particularly in the south and east, followed by a return to cooler, wetter weather. The hottest day of the year so far occurred on 1 July, marking the peak of the most recent warm phase. Current conditions and short-term outlook As we move into early July, high pressure has

the door for low pressure systems to move in from the Atlantic. This change has already brought wetter conditions, and it’s this new setup that will influence our weather over the coming days. READ MORE: What is the jet stream and how does it affect our weather? Short-Term Outlook: Uncertainty
