  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

• Met Office Deep Dive: A change on the way, but when?

  , we need to look at the broader atmospheric pattern, particularly the behaviour of the jet stream. High pressure remains in charge through this week, bringing anticyclonic gloom for many ☁️ However, a change is on the way over the weekend with low pressure retuning, bringing wetter and windier

• Process-based assessment of an ensemble of climate projections for West Africa

  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

• May 2026 weather stats: A breakdown by county

  Rainfall totals showed a marked regional contrast, with much drier conditions across southern and eastern England compared to wetter conditions further north and west. The driest counties were in eastern England, particularly Essex, which recorded just 13.7 mm of rainfall. Nearby Suffolk and Norfolk also

• July 2026 weather stats: A regional breakdown

  July is often one of the wetter summer months, rainfall was exceptionally scarce across much of the UK. Only northern and western Scotland saw anything approaching significant rainfall totals. Nationally, the UK received just 19% of its average rainfall for the time of year, while England and Wales

• An ‘unprecedented’ El Niño and its implications for the weather forecast

  South America (see figure below). El Niño also affects tropical cyclones and suppresses Atlantic hurricanes by increasing wind shear in the tropical Atlantic. Consistent with this, there have only been three storms so far this season, but it only takes one large hurricane to lead to devastating
