Background Tom has been a member of the The Atmospheric Boundary Layer group within Atmospheric Processes and Parametrizations in 2012. In 2019 he moved to the Orography group. Before joining the Met Office Tom completed a PhD at Cranfield University on turbulent combustion modelling using direct numerical simulation, and continued working in this field for four years as a Research Associate (postdoc) at Cambridge University Engineering Department.

Career background Humphrey's first degree was in Physics (University of Bristol Department of Physics) followed by a PhD in low temperature physics, specifically superconductivity (University of Cambridge Department of Physics). He carried out post-doctoral work on high-temperature

March, April, July and December were all a degree or more warmer than average overall – and a new UK record of 38.7 °C was recorded at Cambridge Botanical Garden on July 25th
