level rise is not uniform across the UK. Sea level rise is less in the north and more in the south, this is mainly due to the movement of land, up and down. 4.2 For London, sea level rise by the end of the century (when compared to 1981-2000), for the low emission scenario is very likely 6

Substantial rainfall fell across Cumbria in the opening days which may have contributed to a landslide that caused the derailment of a Glasgow to London service at Shap early on the 3rd.

observations of the weather in the London area and is credited with having first discovered the concept of the urban heat island, where night time temperatures in the cities do not fall as low as those in the countryside. He attributed this to the numbers of coal fires burning in close proximity

Increase in tropical cyclone risk to coastal regions Also known as hurricanes in the North Atlantic and typhoons in the northwest Pacific, tropical cyclones have maximum wind speeds of at least 74 miles per hour and can be up to 1000 kilometres in diameter. Research by Imperial College London as part

. Winds begin to change direction, potentially ushering in warmer air to London and the south-east, where temperatures could climb to 23 or even 25°C, depending on wind orientation. However, conditions remain much less pleasant across north-western parts of the UK. READ MORE: Hurricanes, typhoons

on radar came not from the skies, but from the ground, or rather, just above it. Back in July, swarms of flying ants were picked up on radar, appearing as strange, flashing echoes to the northwest of London. These were initially mistaken for showers, but closer inspection revealed their true identity
