not official and therefore accuracy of readings can be affected by poorly positioned instruments and use of non-standard instruments which may not have been calibrated accurately. There tend to be more diaries for heavily populated areas, such as London with large gaps in rural areas like Wales. In addition

. Variations in annual Heating Degree Days (map for the year 2000 shown) were very well modelled, and the strong altitude effect as well as the urban effect for London and Manchester can be seen. The strong coastal effect can be seen in the temperature range map for August 1995 (this month had large

, the Hazard Centre provides a service almost identical to that for civil authorities, namely, an ‘area-at-risk’ map and PACRAM forecasts. For larger incidents, the Duty Forecaster or a Met Office Civil Contingencies Advisor may be deployed to the MoD in London. Elsewhere, the Met Office provides NAME output

, in the Thames Estuary in the UK, which includes London, flooding can occur when high tides coincide with low-pressure weather systems 87 . Areas of low-lying land (floodplains) in the estuary would be at significant risk of flooding if flood defences did not protect them. The Thames Estuary houses critical
