Used by AQA and Edexcel
Specification 3.1.1.3 · Paper 1
The day-to-day conditions of the atmosphere in a place, including temperature, rainfall and wind.
Revise: Global Atmospheric CirculationWeather is the condition of the atmosphere from day to day: a generally dry region can still experience a rainy day.
For the UK extreme-weather example, name Storm Babet, give its date and location, and link specific facts to causes, impacts or management.
Do not claim that every UK weather hazard is increasing: evidence supports more extreme heat and rainfall, but not an increasingly windy or stormy UK.
A relationship between storminess and retreat does not prove that weather was the only cause.
