Climate Weather False Autumn 08 September 2022 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’? Climate Weather Summer air masses in the UK 16 August 2022 Our weather depends on which way the wind is blowing, so what can we expect during the summer months? In the Spotlight Weather Summer solstice and seasonal lag 22 June 2022 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. Climate Weather Heatwaves: how unusual is it to get high temperatures in June? 15 June 2022 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. Climate In the Spotlight Weather Shifting the baseline for UK heatwaves 11 May 2022 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. Climate In the Spotlight Weather Long-range weather forecasts 13 April 2022 We all know that weather forecasting isn’t an exact science, whether we’re talking about tomorrow, next week or next month. Matt Hugo explains what long-range forecasting is really about. 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. Weather Indian summer 09 September 2021 You’ve probably heard the phrase “Indian summer”, but do you know what it actually means?
