on the 19 October 2001 to 0900Z on the 20 October 2001. Please note: The empirical relationship between radar reflectivity and rainfall rate is fixed whereas in reality this is highly dependent on precipitation type and is very different for rain and hail. Lightning map Below is a lightning map

Meteorologist, Laura Paterson, said: “It will feel very cold this weekend, with strong winds bringing heavy showers to many parts.  Northern facing coastal areas will see the most frequent showers, whilst elsewhere will see more in the way of sunshine. These showers could contain hail, and turn to snow

of precipitation it is likely to be be. Computer technology turns this data into text or visuals that allow meteorologists to see important realtime information about the weather. A weather radar measures the location and intensity of precipitation - including rain, hail and snow - in real time

Weather career stories | People in weather and climate Radar factsheet A weather radar measures the location and intensity of precipitation - including rain, hail and snow - in real time. The Met Office’s network consists of 15 weather radars across the UK, providing information to help monitor

frequent snow showers likely across northern and western Scotland, Northern Ireland and around Irish Sea coasts, but eastern coasts will also be affected at times later. There will be gales which could lead to temporary blizzard conditions as well as a risk of hail and thunder in some locations

. The most intense impacts are likely to be focussed on central, southern and southeast areas of England. Here some locations will witness torrential downpours, large hail and frequent lightning. A few places could see 50-100mm of rainfall in a few hours.” Short-notice warnings It is likely that some

the risk of impacts to road, rail and air transport, as well as to properties and utilities from short-lived torrential rain, hail and lightning strikes. Lightning can cause power cuts and disrupt other utilities and services. Torrential rain and hail can lead to flooding and make driving difficult

is characterised by frequent showers at any time of the year. In the winter months when convection is most vigorous over the sea, hail and thunder are common across much of the western and northern side of the British Isles. However, eastern Britain may see fewer showers as here the surface heating is reduced
