No surprises - the majority of Europe experienced a warm summer. The map shows the temperature anomaly relative to the 1981-2010 climate. (Map credit: @WorldClimateSvc)
Dramatic Himawari-8 satellite imagery of super Typhoon JEBI, which is expected to impact Japan early next week.
Strong signals for a high pressure anomaly to develop across northern Europe in September. This would lead to below average rainfall, notably for Scandinavia and the UK (and lots of pleasant autumn weather too!).
A stunning satellite photo from Himawari-8 showing Typhoon SOULIK, centred south of Japan.
High pressure magnet! The UK & Ireland still attracting the high pressure. This chart is the latest from the EC ensemble model and is valid for 7-11 July. Temperatures are likely to exceed 30 Celsius in places during this period.
