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

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

available ahead of the 2019 rainy season. 2) Risk of extreme years within the 2-5 year period. A small amount of additional diagnostic work could provide supporting diagnostic information on the risk of very dry / very wet years within a 2-5 year period, based on the predicted 2-5 year tercile

to the west creates an environment that is frequently cool, dull and wet. However, the Pennines can cause the cloud to break up downwind, meaning warmer days but cooler nights. If low winter temperatures coincide with high winter precipitation, heavy winter snowfall may occur across Kirklees. Snowfall

: A tale of two halves for September Author: Press Office 25 September 2025 September has been a month of contrasts across the UK, with the weather delivering a tale of two halves. The start of the month was unsettled, bringing plenty of wet weather and changeable conditions. However, as we moved

Winter mean daily minimum temperatures vary from 0°C in high parts of north and mid-Wales to 3 or 4°C around the coast

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 and some wet summers

transitioned into an extratropical system as it approached the UK. While not expected to bring hazardous weather, Dexter has played a role in shaping our current conditions. Initially forecast to pass northwest of the UK, Dexter’s influence was expected to be limited to a spell of wet weather

and the Met Office predicts there could be an increased water requirement for maize irrigation by the middle of the century which will increase the risk of extreme water shortages in the NFR (Xu et al. 2019). These water shortages are projected to occur mid-season, an important developmental time
