    The UK has a temperate climate, mild winters & mild summers. Sometimes we are lucky & have a few hot spells during the summer months but mostly we don't. Thankfully, we also don't see anywhere near as much snow & bitter cold as mainland Europe in the winter.

    The temperatures at this time of year should be 25-32 particularly in London areas.
    17-22 is what you would expect in late march early to mid April.
    This time last year temperatures was in 25-32 rage.
    So it is very poor and disappointing. Hopefully there will be change soon.
    I checked the temperatures in France, Italy and Germany and it is 5-10 degrees higher than it is in the uk.
    The warn area is in Italy, Germany,spain and Portugal and once the jet stream needs go back up.
    6:13 look at the dark reds on the right hand side if that comes across the temptrures will hit 25-33

I’m always interested in seeing how Europes weather is doing along with the UK, especially as it seems they do not have any forecast videos or anything like we have in the UK. It’s always interesting to see how the atmosphere above the Uk could be affecting southern Europe or causing the large storms over northern Italy which appear to be quite prone to large hail, occasional tornados and general severe weather when all the ingredients come together.
    As always, enjoying the content and look forward to seeing more. Thanks!

      Good question. How climate change affects the jet is a really big topic in research at the moment. There are a few theories but one strong one is that it could cause the jet to meander more, generating more extremes of wet spells and hot spells, far from confirmed though.

    You and your colleagues have mentioned several times previously that one of the factors that drives the intensity and degree of meandering of the jet stream is the heat/energy difference between arctic and Atlantic maritime air masses: as the world warms at the poles, will this reduce the intensity of the jet stream (and AMOC?) and produce more meandering and "stuck" jets in NW Europe?

Can you explain why the jet stream has almost constantly been running through or south of the UK this summer?🥰💜

    Being a night worker, I love summer. At around 03:05 in the morning it starts getting light ( around Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Staffordshire and Warwickshire) it’s the best time of day, there is a summer, unfortunately most of you’re in bed. When I get up at around 14:00, I experience’your summer’. Mine is much, much better. I’ve been sleeping trough most of the bad stuff!

    Thank you for the informative video Alex I always enjoy them as I love learning about how different systems influence our weather. I have a question about the different warning maps, how do you decide the shape of the maps in terms of what areas they cover such as the thunderstorm warning shown in the video, how do you know what places to cover and what places to just miss the warning map or is it a rough estimate? Hope that makes sense! Keep up the great work!

    • @metoffice
      @metoffice  17 днів тому +3

      Great question Mat, thanks. The area is decided by the chief meteorologist. They look at the weather in great details obviously and weigh up all the information from the forecast models. But also they take advice from Met Office advisors 'on the ground'. Our warnings are about impacts and so it's vital to understand what the affects of the weather could be. The advisors speak regularly to responders, emergency services and local communities and help greatly with drawing up the boundaries.

    I've just returned from a three day mountain bike adventure across Wales, and the weather was practically identical to when I made the same trip this time last year! Fine first day, terrible a.m, glorious p.m. second day, and rainy am, fine pm, third day. Never too hot which is probably ideal for long days in the saddle! 😊
