Matt Hugo explains what long-range forecasting is really about. Research Summaries Length of growing season is modulated by Northern Hemisphere jet stream variability 08 April 2022 Summary of the research article published in the RMetS International Journal of Climatology In the Spotlight Weather Orange skies and dusty cars? Blame it on Saharan sand 16 March 2022 Sand from the Sahara can reach the UK, bringing vivid orange skies and dusty cars. But how does it get here?

In the Spotlight Weather Highs and lows of daily temperature records 29 September 2021 During summer heatwaves or severe winter cold spells, everybody wants to know if such high or low temperatures are unusual, or indeed record-breaking. Given that unseasonably warm and cold spells affect the UK most years, this interest in climatic extremes is nothing new. But creating the official list of daily temperature records for the UK was no easy task. In the Spotlight Weather Martian Meteorology 16 August 2021 Mars, one of our nearest neighbours, is a fascinating, alien world.
