. The thickest fogs tend to occur in industrial areas, where pollution particles in the air allow water droplets to coalesce and grow. READ MORE: A look back at the 2024/25 storm season How does fog form? Fog, like clouds, is caused by tiny water droplets suspended in the air, but not all fog forms
Office festival forecast: Dry and sunny midweek before turning unsettled Author: Press Office 4 August 2025 As festival season continues, attendees can expect a varied weather picture across the UK from midweek. While Wednesday offers the best chance of dry and sunny conditions, Thursday and Friday
reach 20 to 40 millimetres, especially over high ground. Eastern parts of Northern Ireland are also a watch point for heavier rain. READ MORE: Met Office Deep Dive: Storm season past and present The day will start mostly dry in eastern areas, with mist and fog possible once again. However, winds
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
that within these mean changes cold, dry winters and wet summers like 2012 are still possible but with declining likelihood. Research into the likelihood of extreme seasons under the two scenarios indicate that by the 2040s a summer as hot as the 2003 European heatwave will be very common under both
out over China. These will seek to better understand the East Asian rainy season, and how it may operate in a future climate, including the formation and development of heavy rainstorms. This modeling will help planners decide which adaptive measures urban environments may need to put in place
. 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
is not sufficient to assess model projections. Direct investigation of the mechanisms for future precipitation change is also important, and existing efforts in this area have generated valuable hypothesis about the potential drivers of wet and dry responses [e.g., Biasutti et al., 2008, 2009; Monerie et al
and late response in the case of droughts and cyclones 17 Figure 5 Illustration of possible outcomes of forecast-based early action 24 5 Acronyms ACAPS Assessment Capacities Project ARC African Risk Capacity ARDIS African and Asian Resilience in Disaster Insurance Scheme DFID UK Department
The seasons are changing and so is the weather, with wind and rain for much of the UK in the coming days.
and for anyone looking for rain in the forecast there is good news. High pressure - which we have become quite accustomed to over the summer - will stay with us for a little longer, but by the weekend conditions will be changing as low-pressure will take the lead for several days, bringing wet and windy
