Climate Extreme storms triple in Sahel due to Global Warming 21 August 2017 Over the past 35 years extreme storms in the Sahel have tripled and it’s down to global warming, according to research conducted by NERC scientists Weather On This Day: Lynmouth flood of 1952 15 August 2017 On 15 - 16 August 1952, an intense storm occurred over southwest England, depositing 229 millimetres of rainfall within 24 hours. Weather Dancing cyclones: The 'Fujiwhara effect' 30 July 2017 The Fujiwhara effect is a rare phenomenon that sees nearby cyclones ‘dancing’ round each other. Climate High risk of 'unprecedented' winter rainfall 25 July 2017 Novel research by Met Office scientists has now found that there is a 1 in 3 chance of a new monthly rainfall record in at least one region in England and Wales each winter (Oct-Mar).
