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

to change this weekend as we see high temperatures, sunshine and light winds return. On Saturday and Sunday there’ll be plenty of sunshine, especially in the east, with temperatures rising into the mid to high 20s Celsius for many - it’ll be warmest in south-eastern parts where 31˚C is most likely

England and eastern Scotland, clearing quickly to reveal a dry day for most. Sunny spells will develop widely, though there remains a chance of a few light showers in southern areas. Breezy conditions are expected in the southeast and far northwest, but temperatures will generally be close

likely peaking at 22C in the southeast.   Although still open to some uncertainty, more settled weather is on the cards for most on Saturday and Sunday with patchy cloud and sunny spells, and only the odd spot of light rain, mainly across the far north. However, the far southeast could see some

................................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

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

in the first two weeks roughly 2°C below average. The cool start to the month was due to northerly and northwesterly winds bringing cold Arctic air across the UK. A low pressure centre developed over Scandinavia in the second week of June, pushing further cold air from the north across the UK. Frontal

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
