too. Wednesday is likely to be the finest day of the week, with dry and bright conditions for central and eastern parts. There will be some showers in parts of Northern Ireland, Western Scotland and the Northern Isles for a time and some light rain in the far south. Increasingly unsettled weather

The colder and more unsettled weather continues for much of the country heading into the weekend, with wintry showers bringing light accumulations of snow to some areas, particularly on high ground.

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

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

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
