at first, before further showery precipitation moved into western and northern parts during the afternoon, but it remained mainly dry elsewhere. The 21st saw a lot of cloud, with bands of rain pushing north-eastwards, including some heavier bursts, but the far south-west became brighter with sunny

. “What’s chiefly responsible for these thundery showers is that the UK is under the influence of low pressure, with daytime heating helping to develop unstable air which can be responsible for these bursts of heavy rain.” The unsettled theme is likely to continue on Wednesday, though the frequency

bursts of heavy rain and coastal gusts of 60-70mph, mainly from Dorset eastwards. “Wind and rain warnings associated with Storm Ciarán are in force from Wednesday night onwards into Friday, with further updates possible on Wednesday. These include amber warning for winds for southwestern parts

Enrichment experiment. Debbie's personal science is currently focussed on understanding phenological changes (events in nature, such as the timing of bud-burst in different plant species) and their implications for ecosystem resilience under climate / environmental change. Current activities include: UK

temperatures in some areas exceeded 30 °C, for which extreme heat warnings were issued. There were fatalities in water during the hot spell, and ambulance services reported extremely high demand. Northern Ireland Water witnessed extreme pressure on their network, which resulted in a burst main water pipe

area of low pressure but it is going to bring some more unsettled weather. “We’re going to see a swathe of heavy, showery rain pushing its way across many parts, with most areas likely to see some fairly heavy bursts at times.” Blustery winds, hail and even thunder could accompany this on Saturday

than 48 hours. Problems with burst water pipes may have been caused by the unusual longevity of the freezing temperatures.

(11 days) earlier than if no human-induced climate change or urban warming had happened. Last year was the earliest full flowering date in the 1,200 year Kyoto record, with the cherry blossom bursting into colour by 26 March 2021. This year’s full flowering date was declared on 1 April 2022

forms shower clouds. A further factor that greatly affects the rainfall distribution is altitude. Moist air that is forced to ascend hills may be cooled to the dew point to produce cloud and rain. A map of average annual rainfall therefore looks similar to a topographic map. Much of Eastern Scotland
