    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.

    You should make a new concept/segment in the deep dive where you look at what actually happened and compare it to the models you had from a week or 2 ago, be cool to see how correct or incorrect some models might've been.

    Hello and thanks for your Deep Dive videos, which I'm happy to see appear on my feed every week. Since you're heavily insisting for comments (!), here is mine : I especially enjoy when you provide scientific explanations (simplified explanations) for meteorological phenomena. I'm not so keen on physics but in a way I enjoy learning about why this parameter will combine with this other to explain why there's this type of weather. I like the "Eureka" moment when I understand what's going on in the sky. Keep it up !

    Watching from holiday in sunny Mallorca. 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!

    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.

    We Urgently need it to dry up soon, a lot of talk from UK farmers, that it'll be too wet to ripen & harvest the crops in a few weeks time.
    The weather patterns are certainly weird this year, look at how far south the jetstream is, it needs to be at least a 1,000 miles further north for us to get some warmth & rainless days!

      I’m so glad that we have a cooler summer this year. Bring on the rain I say! I just love the dullness and cool weather. The ghastly glare of the sun and the horrible sweaty hot weather is agony to some people. I dread the temperature rising above about 23/25 degrees. It makes me so depressed when it’s hot I just don’t want to get up in the morning. You can always get warm, but it’s much harder to get cool when your whole body is screaming because of the heat.

    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! 😊

    How has the northern jet stream changed in relation to global warming Alex? Is it still typical of say 50 years ago, these deep dips, the shapes and loops? I find that most fascinating as it truly is what drives our weather…. 💁🏻‍♂️

    • @metoffice
      @metoffice  Před 13 dny +13

      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.

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  Před 13 dny +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.
