As European heatwaves become more severe, summers in the United Kingdom (UK) are also getting warmer. The UK record temperature of 38.7 °C set in Cambridge in July 2019 prompts the question of whether exceeding 40 °C is now within reach. Here, we show how human influence is incr...
The northwest of England could see heavier rain on Wednesday evening and into Thursday, with "relatively high rainfall totals possible". Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Chris Bulmer said: "The UK's weather is transitioning to a less warm, rather more unsettled per...
Results under a more moderate and currently realistic scenario, RCP 4.5, are presented in the Supplementary Material. We project an additional 5.7 percentage point reduction in July (the hottest month) and a 4.7 percentage point increase in February (the coldest month, due to warmer winter) on ...
In England cold and highly variable phases would have been particularly difficult for agriculture; the cold periods occurred in the mid-1290s, from c.1313–1323, in the late 1340s, the mid-1360s to the mid-1370s, the 1380s, the first decade of the fifteenth century and the late 1420s...
Use the completed maps to illustrate and talk about how temperatures differ north and south of the equator. Students will note that temperatures south of the equator are warmer in January and cooler in July, which is the opposite of how temperatures adjust north of the equator. You might use...
Showers are being forecast in the week but the heavy winds that have been seen across the country during the weekend are expected to fade on Monday. Heavy rain is expected on Tuesday across central and northern parts of England, Wales and Northern Ireland with temperatures not rising above ...
Chironomid assemblages at Füramoos in the northern foreland of the Eastern Alps (southern Germany) indicate mean July temperatures up to 6°C lower than present (Bolland et al., 2021a). To our knowledge, quantitative temperature estimates from the Eastern Alps are lacking for this time ...
The period included the late June heatwave, when the UK's Health Security Agency issued a yellow heat health alert for most of England as temperatures climbed to 30C (86F). The data found that, while there is no legal maximum temperature for schools or workplaces, temperatures ...
England and Wales will heat up as the weekend approaches, and temperatures could peak around 30C (86F) on Friday and Saturday in southern parts of the UK. It will be warm at night too, with the chance of tropical nights in southeast England - which happens when the...
Northern sections of the Larsen Ice Shelf, eastern Antarctic Peninsula (AP) have experienced dramatic break-up and collapse since the early 1990s due to strong summertime surface melt, linked to strengthened circumpolar westerly winds. Here we show that
