Impacts from thunderstorms can occur at any time of the year and are most common during the summer months – when areas of intense thunderstorms can move across the UK and heighten the risk of disruption to transport networks and damage property. It is usually during warm and humid weather in the summer, when thunderstorms in the UK are most likely ...
Wind storms tend to last for several hours in any one location although the impacts may continue for longer. However, if a major wind storm is followed by subsequent windy spells, recovery from the impacts of the original storm can be hampered and the impacts can become prolonged. Strong winds and storms often result in tree damage and trees being ...
When snow falls in the UK it can quickly lead to impacts on transport networks. Road and air transport organisations help mitigate possible disruption by taking winter maintenance actions, such as gritting and ploughing. Daily forecasts, specifically focussed on gritting and ploughing requirements, are used by some organisations to help them make d...
Lightning can occur at any time of the year, although it is most common during the summer months – when frequent lightning can move across large areas of the UK and heighten the risk of impacts. It is during the summer when ‘dry storms’ can develop and produce frequent lightning in clouds very high up in the sky. However, any rain has to fall such ...
Impacts from ice on roads can be mitigated by treating roads with salt or grit. However, not all roads, cycle paths and pavements will be treated. Some organisations take specialised daily forecasts to help them make decisions on treatment strategies. On some rare occasions, freezing rain can fall. This is when rain freezes immediately on contact w...
Whilst many of us like to enjoy the sunshine and hot weather, we should make sure we do it safely and remember certain groups of people are more vulnerable than others to heat. Hot weather places a strain on the heart and lungs, for that reason, the majority of serious illness and deaths caused by heat are respiratory or cardiovascular. Older peopl...
Where fog is patchy, drivers will tend to slow down or speed up as they move into and out of areas of fog. This can present a greater risk of road traffic collisions than widespread fog, when drivers are more likely to drive more slowly and appropriate to the constant low visibility conditions. Dense fog lasting for several days is likely to have a...
