across the UK? These maps show changes in temperature (left) and rainfall (right) from 1991-2020 compared to a baseline period of 1961-1990. We can see that temperatures have risen in all areas across the UK. We can also see that whilst some areas have become drier, more areas have become wetter

see that whilst some areas have become drier, more areas have become wetter. IMPACTS Cities and towns across the UK are already experiencing the impacts of climate change. The negative impacts of climate change for urban areas may include: HEAT Increased energy demand for summer cooling SEA LEVEL

sources and human-made sources such as cows and landfills.”  The study provided insights into how wetland methane emissions are influenced by the Earth’s climate system. It found wetland emissions increased during the 2015 wet season and at the start of the 2015-2016 El Niño, which is a fluctuation

. There was plenty of settled weather, with only limited amounts of rainfall, especially in the south. Only during the last week of the month was the weather truly unsettled, a period which included the first named storm of the season. The mean temperature was provisionally 0.5 °C above the 1981-2010 long-term

in these seasons. In summer, convection caused by solar surface heating sometimes forms shower clouds and a large proportion of rain falls from showers and thunderstorms then. The additional heat from the London urban area can encourage such shower development in summer. A further factor that greatly affects

patterns occur when an area of high pressure remains nearly stationary and distorts the usual eastward progression of pressure systems. This can lead to prolonged periods of dry and settled weather in the area under the high pressure, while areas on the periphery may experience wet and windy

weather The UK provisionally recorded its sixth wettest July on record, with a succession of low pressure systems bringing unseasonably wet and windy conditions. While August has started fairly unsettled for many, Thursday (10 August) provided a brief glimpse of warmer weather for many. The 28.4°C
