are, by definition, rare, which means we have relatively few observations, especially in light of our changing climate. This means it is difficult to estimate the current chances of extreme weather and climate events. To overcome this, the CSSP China project pioneered a technique using the Met

in 17 people being killed along with 4 horses. The thunderstorms across South East England slowly died away during the evening and here it turned rather misty. Winds generally were light and from the southeast. Temperatures were above the late May average generally and very warm, locally hot

start for some. Otherwise, it will be a fine day with light winds and a fair amount of sunshine in many areas, although freezing fog patches could persist in a few places.  How long the more settled, colder conditions will last is uncertain, with rain probably returning to westernmost areas at least

Although there will be a bit of a split in the weather over the coming days, much of England and Wales will see bright and dry conditions with sunny spells. Temperatures will reach the mid 20˚Cs across the south where it will feel quite warm with light winds. Further north, Scotland, Northern

& drizzle will occur bringing the visibility down to 7km. • Isolated areas of heavier rain and/or drizzle near to the fronts in the north of the zone are expected – this heavier rain is expected to reduce the visibility down to 3500m in these areas. • Isolated areas of mist and light drizzle

. Cloud and outbreaks of rain will move across England and Wales during the morning, clearing to leave sunny spells and showers later, some of which may be heavy locally. Winds will be light to moderate, but locally fresh to strong around some coasts. Temperatures will be near normal, though it may feel

 singled out as a reason for being caught out by severe weather. With much of the country likely to be changing their habits in light of restrictions on international travel, the Met Office’s WeatherReady initiative aims to help people make the most of the summer weather, while also taking small

temperature profiles. In the tropics and sub-tropics, convection has more realistic structure and spurious light rain/drizzle is reduced. Improvements in the representation of warm rain microphysics results in a reduction in the amount of spurious light drizzle that is especially notable

fell across Cumbria and parts of Derbyshire in early December. A major incident was declared in Cumbria with a large number of roads closed including the M6 for a time. Several rest centres were opened to accommodate stranded travellers and residents without power. Storms Elin and Fergus brought wet
