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

. The Atlantic depressions are more vigorous in autumn and winter and most of the rain which falls in those seasons in the south west is from this source. In summer, convection caused by solar surface heating sometimes forms shower clouds and a large proportion of rainfall falls from showers

of the key warnings issued. The summer was wetter than average and warmer. There were three significant hot spells with a record maximum temperature recorded on 25 th August. WL noted that the UK’s weather warning service is still internationally recognised as a leading service, however

The temperature for the period was +0.6⁰C above the long term average. A persistent challenge especially for the summer
