and sunny, with light to moderate easterly winds and high UV levels. Maximum temperatures will reach 17°C and 18°C respectively, but clear skies overnight will cause temperatures to plummet, potentially as low as -1°C, raising the risk of frost. Participants camping out will need to be well-prepared

Cold air either from Northern Europe, as at present, or from Canada later on, will cover the UK this week, bringing low temperatures. With the low temperatures, further snow is likely in places, the next batch as a front moves eastwards, bumping into the cold air and leading to some mostly light

and carrots for example and newly planted lettuces and other plants but should not greatly delay sowing and planting once conditions improve. Tender plants, petunias and tomatoes for example, won’t be put outside for another month at least but lower light affects greenhouses and will slow

................................12 Climate change We’re causing it, so let’s tackle it...14 00.13 GMT: Just past midnight and local authority duty-officer Karen Johnson is roused from sleep by an important text. It’s the Flood Forecasting Centre in London confirming extreme rainfall in just two hours

extent lower than every year before 2007. Each year, scientific centres around the world submit predictions of September Arctic sea ice extent to the Sea Ice Outlook (SIO), a series of reports published in June, July and August by the Sea Ice Prediction Network (SIPN). The second report of the summer

totals are based on the average value across each county. Lead author and Met Office climate scientist, Mike Kendon, said: “Our new analysis of these observations really shines a light on the fastest changing aspects of our weather as a consequence of climate change. Long term averages can be difficult

on the ground, mounted on an aircraft or satellite-based, and can be used to observe the location and vertical profile of aerosols such as volcanic ash. A lidar measures backscattered light from atmospheric targets e.g. aerosols including volcanic ash and Saharan dust, water droplets and ice crystals, using

restrictions in coastal waters; such as in the Moray Firth and Firth of Forth during prevailing westerly wind conditions. The Pentland Firth is also resolved by multiple cells in the model, although the addition of current information would be needed in order to properly represent wave growth and dissipation

. Longer day light hours, stronger late-March sunshine and a lack of existing snow cover mean the impacts of this snowy spell will be less than the late February/early March spell. Looking ahead the weather will remain cold for Monday, but the risk of snow diminishes. As we head further into the week we

sunshine and a few blustery showers in Northern Ireland, Wales and south-west England. The Northern Isles are expected to remain largely dry until the evening. Winds will be light at first but will become moderate to fresh, and locally strong along western coasts, with a risk of gales. Temperatures
