Stage details of the 2027 men's Tour de France grand départ in Britain unveiled, Edinburgh-Carlisle and Keswick-Liverpool look like sprint finishes, then Stage 3 from Welshpool to Cardiff is hillier and has the Côte de Caerffili near the finish

A stunning view from space today! Snow: Notice the bright white areas, for example over the hills of northern Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales; that’s lying snow❄️ Showers: Out to the east and west, you can see clusters of bubbly, textured clouds. These are wintry showers 🌨️

A truly devastating situation unfolding #Melissa now sustained 175mph, gusts over 200mph Central pressure 906hpa

Hurricane Melissa, a Category 5 storm, is forecast to bring catastrophic damage to parts of the Caribbean The mountains of Jamaica could receive 1 metre of rain, resulting in life-threatening flash flooding and landslides Destructive winds and storm surges are also likely

This evening's update from the U.S. National Hurricane Center on #Melissa is ominous, and explicitly mentions: "catastrophic and life-threatening flash flooding...extensive infrastructural damage...and potentially prolonged isolation of communities" in both Jamaica & Haiti.

Jamaica, in particular, will likely suffer catastrophic impacts from now rapidly-intensifying (but slow-moving) Hurricane #Melissa. A *Category 5* landfall now appears to be the most likely outcome, & 30-40+ inches of *additional* rain in mountains will lead to extreme flooding.

#Hurricane #Melissa forecast to reach Category 5 intensity on Monday If so, it would be the 3rd Cat 5 of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season (Erin & Humberto were the other 2) Only 1 other Atlantic season on record has had >2 Cat. 5s: 2005 (Emily, Katrina, Rita, Wilma)

Seeing the "UK's first Super university" headlines and being puzzled the article isn't a University of Wales retrospective piece

Summer 1976 v 2025.. Attribution studies show that, in a “natural” climate without human-induced greenhouse gas emissions, a summer like 2025 would be a ~1-in-340-year event. In our current climate, however, it is estimated to be a 1-in-5-year event www.metoffice.gov.uk/blog/2025/ho...

Met Office stats confirm summer 2025 is officially the warmest summer on record for the UK. The UK’s mean temp of 16.10°C surpasses the previous record of  15.76°C and pushes the summer of 1976 out of the top 5 warmest summers. www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

Provisional statistics from the Met Office show that summer 2025 will ‘almost certainly’ be the warmest summer on record for the UK. It would move 2018 off the top spot and relegate 1976 out of the top five warmest summer in a series which dates back to 1884. 👉 www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

Incredible.. Following the warmest and sunniest spring on record for the UK, we've now likely had the warmest summer on record.  “This moves 1976 out of the top 5 warmest summers since 1884, leaving all 5 warmest summers having occurred since yr 2000". www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

When an article says "some scientists think" then remember this: I, a scientist, once thought I could fit a whole orange in my mouth. I could, it turns out, get it in there, but I hadn't given sufficient thought to the reverse operation.

Whitechurch and Heathrow Airport were the warmest places in the UK today, both reaching 30.8C. It was also Wales' warmest day of the year so far for the second day running. Here is the warmest place in each nation.

"This illustrates a growing pattern: even in cooler years, short-lived but intense heat events are becoming more common" 30C is reached more routinely here in the UK during summer, than in the past.. www.metoffice.gov.uk/blog/2025/sc...

Today has been the UK's warmest day of the year so far, with 32.2C in Kew Gardens and Heathrow Airport in London. It has also been Wales' warmest day of the year so far, with 30.1C in Cardiff. Here's the warmest place in each nation.
