a dry day, with temperatures on Saturday likely peaking at 22C in southern and central England, which is lower than those experienced for many in recent days. Sunday will see temperatures drop further, though any rain is still likely to be fairly light in nature. Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist

thundery showers will follow, with the possibility of hail. Some sunny spells are expected, but showers may become organised into bands, resulting in more prolonged rainfall. Winds will be light to moderate in the north at first, freshening through the day. In the south, winds will be fresh

, with the odd isolated shower elsewhere. Later in the day, cloud and some patchy rain will spread into the far northwest, where it will also become windy. Elsewhere, winds will be mainly light to moderate, and temperatures will be around average for the time of year. Met Office presenter

Amazing aurora Overview Space weather helps produce amazing light shows in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres – known as the aurora. Many people dream of experiencing this dazzling event that only occurs in a few places around the world. In this activity you’ll get a chance to research different

year in June/July as light levels increase due to the longer days. This image comes from the NOAA/NASA Suomi-NPP satellite which is a polar orbiting satellite which collects data while circling the Earth passing over the north and south poles. One of the images we can create from this data is a true

of the Earth’s atmosphere and surface. Objects that reflect most light, such as cloud, appear whiter than objects that reflect less light, such as land. Thicker clouds appear whiter than thinner clouds. The scale on the legend indicates albedo (or reflectivity) on a scale from 0 to 1. Visible satellite

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

, and all results are for RCP8.5. The orange dots and light blue dots represent the sets of GC3.05 and CMIP5 projections respectively. Two example models selected from the set of 28 global projections are shown in red and dark blue. From figure 2.14 of Lowe et al (2018). How to use joint probability plots

is possible. Outlook for Saturday Saturday will be fairly cloudy, with light rain or showers in the far northwest, becoming increasingly windy with gales developing later. The southeast will remain mostly fine and rather mild, though there is a small chance of a few thunderstorms during the day

A band of low cloud and patchy light rain or drizzle will move southeastwards across Northern Ireland and western Scotland during the day, gradually extending into Wales, northern England and parts of the southwest. Behind this, brighter conditions will develop with sunny spells and a scattering
