In the Spotlight Weather Snowmakers in the UK - part 1 02 December 2021 Snow in the UK is a (fairly) rare and wonderous thing. Forecasting snowfall is very important; it is obvious when things go wrong! In the first part of this mini series, Frank Barrow explains how to identify snowy weather scenarios. In the Spotlight Weather Spooky weather 22 October 2021 Halloween can be a scary time of year when it comes to the weather. From ghost-grey fogs to howling gales, just about anything is possible. Here’s a quick round up of some of the best spooky weather phenomena. In the Spotlight Aviation Forecasting - a Forecaster's Perspective 22 March 2021 Bear in mind: what goes up, must come down! In the Spotlight 2017: the warmest year on record without an El Niño 18 January 2018 Confirmation that 2017 was the warmest year without an El Niño boost has come from the Met Office Hadley Centre and UEA. In the Spotlight Climate change to increase clear-air turbulence threefold 01 December 2017 Climate change isn’t just something that is occurring at ground level, but also high up into the atmosphere – and it will have significant impacts on air travel. In the Spotlight Drizzle riddle solved 22 August 2017 Updrafts are more important than previously thought in determining whether clouds produce drizzle rather than normal-sized raindrops. In the Spotlight Why does pressure fall off more slowly in warm air than cold air? 20 June 2017 There are two questions here. The first is does pressure fall off more slowly in warm air than cold air? In the Spotlight The jet stream: chicken or egg? 19 June 2017 Does the position of the warm and cold upper air masses determine the route of the jet stream, or does the jet stream determine the position of the cold and warm upper air masses? Which is the chicken and which the egg? In the Spotlight Wind speeds in Saturn's jet stream whizz round at over 1,000mph 11 November 2016 New research has revealed the planet has the widest, most intense jet stream out of all the planets in the solar system
