☆ Winter Storm Sweeps Britain, Posing ‘Danger to Life’ in Coastal Areas
  + stars: | 2024-01-21 | by ( Johnny Diaz | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
A powerful storm was moving away from Britain on Monday morning after battering the country overnight with a top gust of wind of 99 m.p.h, according to the Met Office, the country’s weather service, which said that a yellow warning would remain in effect until midday. “It is rather unusual in bringing impacts to most of the U.K.,” said Grahame Madge, a spokesman for the weather service, which called the event Storm Isha. The yellow weather warning is used when people are at risk from certain weather because of their location or activity, and it advises the public “to take preventative action,” according to the meteorological office’s website. Late on Sunday night, the Met Office issued a red wind warning for overnight covering the northeast coast of Scotland and advised people not to use the roadways. A red warning advises the public to expect “a short spell of extremely strong winds leading to danger to life, structural damage and disruption.”

The storm system is helping usher in traditional autumn weather across Britain this week with cool, wind-swept rains on Tuesday and Wednesday. Grahame Madge, a spokesman for the Met Office, Britain’s national weather service, said on Tuesday that it was not unusual for former hurricanes to enter this part of the world. He said this particular system would bring a significant amount of rainfall to parts of Britain, but no hurricane conditions. The Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for heavy rain for much of Wales and northwest England. “Be aware of the possibility of flooding and travel disruption in these areas” on Tuesday and Wednesday, forecasters said.

The average temperature has increased over the last two decades, the Met Office said, countering misleading claims circulating online. According to the Met Office, however, its data show a long-term trend of rising temperatures, including an increase in UK temperature over the last two decades. “The Met Office’s preferred smoothing pattern for the UK temperature series clearly shows warming over the last two decades,” he said. In comparison to the 30-year period 1961-1990, the average UK temperature increased by 0.8°C between 1991 and 2020 (here). The average temperature has increased over the last two decades in the UK, according to the Met Office, Britain’s national weather service.
