Prof Adam Scaife, of the Met Office Hadley Centre, said: “Signs of this event appeared in forecasts from late January and in the last few days we have seen a dramatic rise in air temperature, known as a Sudden Stratospheric Warming, at around 30km above the North Pole. This warming results from

currently used by the Met Office and several other large operational centres. This formulation is very expensive computationally and it is necessary to see whether its use will still be justified on future supercomputers with more parallel architecture. Mike is also taking a lead in making fuller use

, rapidly rising air, leading to the development of a centre of low pressure, or depression, at the surface. There are various trigger mechanisms required to transform these cloud clusters into a tropical storm and eventually into a hurricane. These trigger mechanisms depend on several conditions

A new study by scientists in the Met Office Hadley Centre has found that days with extreme rainfall accumulations will become more frequent through the century. The research used the record rainfall observed on 3 October 2020 as an example and found that while in a natural environment
