Citizen Science Weather Flying Ant Day 09 July 2021 Did you know that rainfall radar can be hoodwinked by swarms of flying ants? Over several days each summer, we witness “Flying Ant Day” when ants take to the air to mate and disperse. Citizen Science Climate In the Spotlight Weather Record-breaking heat in Canada 01 July 2021 Heat, drought, poor air quality, floods and wildfires are expected to worsen with climate change. Western Canada is experiencing all of these in a one week period … while attempting to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Weather Heatwaves 28 June 2021 A heatwave is a prolonged period of abnormally high temperatures, relative to the expected conditions at that given time and place. The exact definition varies around the world, but all heatwaves are classed as extreme weather events. Climate Weather WMO Retires Atlantic Hurricane Names 22 March 2021 Out go the most devastating storm names as well as the Greek alphabet Weather The difference between meteorological and astronomical seasons 27 January 2021 Why are the dates of the seasons different for meteorologists and astronomers? Climate Climate Modelling 15 December 2020 How is Earth’s climate modelled and how does modelling help our understanding? Research Summaries Vulnerability of hop-yields due to compound drought and heat events over European key-hop regions 16 October 2020 Summary of the research article published in the RMetS International Journal of Climatology Climate Armagh Observatory - An Inclement Month 16 September 2020 The Armagh Observatory has reported that August 2020 was the wettest August in Armagh for 12 years. This summer has also been reported as the dullest for 33 years at the Observatory as well as the wettest for 8 years and the coolest for 5.
