@ProfBillMcGuire @guardian It frustrates me intensely that even after the July '22 event, the National Risk Register still retains such a conservative Reasonable Worst Case Scenario.
Maybe, now that Kay et al (2025) have quantified the *possibility* of 46.6°c the next NRR iteration will be more objective?

This map shows where the Europe "heat dome" is record breaking. Any colors in red are a new May record (since 1950) for the upper level ridge which is causing this historic early season. Several 100s of cities have already seen their all-time May heat records broken in Western #Europe over the past few days. More to come through late week. #heatwave Thanks @burgwx for the great visual!

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM RISK - TUESDAY
CAPE in the region of 2000-2500j/KG is an incredible amount of energy for the time of year, combined with sea breeze convergence beginning across the southwest will be the trigger for thunderstorms, these expanding into the Midlands and northeast England.
Shear profiles suggest a marginal possibility of supercells if storms are able to tap into the vast amount of energy available.
The main hazards are frequent lightning, torrential rainfall leading to flash flooding and large hail.
Due to generally slow steering winds, storm motion will be rather slow so torrential rain has potential to bring large totals where storms do develop.
Confidence however is very low, if storms develop they will likely explode rapidly, i.e from nothing to a severe thunderstorm in 15-20 minutes but pin-pointing where these may develop is tricky.
Full convective outlook will be issued this evening.

@BritishArmy @NATO I was on exercise capital guard in the 1980s. We were based at the camp in Hounslow. Before being deployed around the London area. They opened 'hermetically sealed' bunkers for the first time in years. Only to find many with water running down the walls and mould on everything.

We've been conducting a major @NATO exercise in London this week - and no one above ground suspected a thing.
Hundreds of soldiers have been testing how they would run a major NATO command post, hidden deep beneath one of the busiest cities on earth.

Worth remembering that today's amber heat-heath warning should also be understood in respect to wildfire risk. Some red appearing over the next few days in the south east...

@LucyGoBag I imagine this will be akin to standing at Birmingham New Street station, watching as the train that was apparently 2 minutes out, has now slipped mysteriously into a parallel universe…as though it was never there!

This was not unexpected. Makes sense and airlines have some powerful lobbying skills. But what does it mean for your hol? You will need a Zen mindset because arrival and departure times will change bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@sherlock_comms You found it. This is the video I've been remembering! 🎯

@HelenRosamond11 I thought you were going to say that they let Charles do the water-dunk thing...

As a special parting honour on the final day of the state visit, President Trump provided King Charles with Marine One for travel in Virginia and to Joint Base Andrews for his departure flight.
A rare and personal gesture from President Trump which highlights his respect for King Charles and their warm personal rapport 🇺🇸 🇬🇧

This is not just a tool for the authorities. There are a few things we need to do as the public too - stay vigilant and look out for each other. Refresh your first aid training and put a good first aid kit in your car.

The UK's threat level has increased to “severe”. This follows a rising Islamist and Extreme Right Wing terrorist threat, and yesterday's abhorrent antisemitic terrorist attack. People should be vigilant as they go about their daily lives, and report any concerns to the police. Our world-leading police and security services continue to work, day and night, to keep our country safe.
