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.

and use of probabilistic dispersion forecasts. This involves quantifying the source, meteorological and impact uncertainties. Scientific collaboration and developments with a number of agencies (e.g. Public Health England) and UK universities (e.g., Reading, Bristol, Leeds and Cambridge). We are partners in the EUROVOLC project which aims to promote an integrated and harmonized European volcanological community.

at Queens' College, Cambridge University. He was fortunate enough to then undertake a PhD, supervised jointly by Dr Paul Mason of the Met Office and Dr Alan Ibbetson of Reading University. The topic of his PhD was turbulent flow over three-dimensional hills, and the numerical model he developed

temperature in the UK? 38.7 °C in Cambridge University Botanic Garden on 25 July 2019. 5. What is climate change? Climate change is a large-scale, long-term shift in Earth’s weather patterns, leading to increasing temperatures, rising sea levels and changes in nature. www.metoffice.gov.uk | 4 © Crown

just over one half (53%) of the summer’s average rainfall. The Cambridge University Botanic Garden recorded an all-time high temperature of 38.7 °C on Thursday 25 July. Across the UK, the average temperature for July has been 1.2 °C above the long-term average for 1981-2010. However, parts of Eastern
