The UK has experienced relentless wet weather so far this year due to a blocked weather pattern over northeast Europe. Weather Presenter Liam Dutton examines how long the rain deluge could last.
Can you get blocking lows as well? This wet weather seems like a blocking low to me! It seems odd that weather presenters never talk about blocking lows, always blocking highs?
I also think that climate change won’t necessarily bring just wetter winters, but also wetter summers, but also drier winters and drier summers, ie, more extremes. Some years bone dry, other years soggy and flooded. No more middle ground with weather in our warming climate, it’ll either be too dry or too wet, or too stormy. And I don’t trust that we’ll be able to cope or prepare for it.
Liam, James Hanson, the Granddaddy of climate scientists, suggests in his recent Substack post that El Nino is returning early and we might see 1.7 degrees C global temperature rise in 2027: https://substack.com/home/post/p-187095366 (If this turns out to be true then 2023-2027 would be the five hottest summers EVER in the northern hemisphere. Looks a lot like a trend...
