• Understanding long-range forecasts: Science, skill, and application

  to predict the exact weather on a particular day months ahead, forecasters can estimate the probability of certain conditions, such as a wetter-than-average season or an increased risk of heatwaves.

  and sector-focused competition over depleting water resources. Food security Agricultural production is constrained by a lack of both water and arable land, with some regions constrained by temperature as well. By the 2050s, there is high confidence that warming will occur over all seasons, with increases

• Deep dive: From mountain waves to mammatus

  . If the atmosphere is sufficiently unstable, these clouds can grow into towering cumulus and eventually cumulonimbus, extending towards the top of the troposphere.

• Met Office Deep Dive: Heatwaves, thunderstorms and satellite launches

  into an extratropical system as it approached the UK. While not expected to bring hazardous weather, Dexter has played a role in shaping our current conditions. Initially forecast to pass northwest of the UK, Dexter’s influence was expected to be limited to a spell of wet weather. However, by midweek, the story
