different model variants that achieve this. These simulations will form our best estimate of the future range of changes in the worldwide patterns of temperature, moisture and atmospheric circulation that in turn alter the frequency and intensity of the extreme hot, cold, wet or dry seasons

early on in the formation of the service development teams that all users were feeding back that seasonal outlooks in East Africa were issued too late to support meaningful action and in addition, after the outlook had been issued, monthly updates of the progress of the season were required. Through

, the fifth named storm of the season, Eowyn, brought destructive winds to northwestern parts of the UK and the first red warnings for wind in 2025. Gusts of over 90mph were recorded across parts of Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland. Northern Ireland also recorded its lowest January MSLP

- humid areas (Gari, 2002). Optimum millet growing temperature is 30C Wheat is generally cultivated as a winter rainfed crop in the highlands of Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, and Tanzania (Negassa et al. 2012 ). Wheat is a cool season crop and increasing temperature shortens its growth period

cloudier and wetter than average over much of the UK, average temperatures in May and Spring broke previous records in a series dating back to 1884. With the day-time heat in May and Spring focussed in sparselypopulated Northern Scotland, and significant (but not unprecedented) rainfall and cloudiness

of data between 1961 and 2001). This was done for one month of each season, for maximum temperature, sunshine, rainfall, and days of rain ≥ 1mm. The estimates produced by the infilling method were then compared to the actual measured values. The results, averaged across all the test months

for hours, days, weeks, seasons and even years ahead. Operating as part of an international network to collect weather data, we also partner with research institutes worldwide to develop the very latest techniques. We strive to ensure that you always have the very best advice in print, on air, and via

summary of Met Office activity. The group were taken through the weather trends experienced over the summer. Summer 2017 was wetter than average with much of the forecasting challenge stemming from the convective rainfall that dominated. This was evident in events such as Coverack. DR touched on other

, this natural climate variability is the current La Niña event, marked by cool sea surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific Ocean which are generally associated with modified global weather patterns that make many tropical land regions wetter and cooler. These increase plant growth, temporarily
