From storms to extreme heat, 2022 has been a record-breaking period for the UK's weather. Simon Brown, Services Director at the Met Office, explains how meteorologists forecast and communicated the extreme events.

Signs of autumn appeared earlier than usual across parts of the UK in 2022, with leaves on some of the trees turning brown in August or in some cases falling off the trees altogether. But what caused this ‘false autumn’?

Our weather depends on which way the wind is blowing, so what can we expect during the summer months?

Why isn't the summer solstice the warmest day of the year? Kirsty McCabe takes a closer look at the longest day of the year.

The heat is on, and it’s surprisingly warm across much of the UK for this early in the summer. Kirsty McCabe explains how unusual it is to get June temperatures into the 30s and why hot weather is so dangerous.

In response to our warming climate, the Met Office has updated their heatwave thresholds. But is this masking the impact of climate change? Mark McCarthy explains what's really going on.

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.

You’ve probably heard the phrase “Indian summer”, but do you know what it actually means?
