'Cloud seeding did not cause Dubai floods'

Reading Meteorology meteorologist, Professor Maarten Ambaum sets the record straight regarding the flooding in Dubai.

Read his full expert comment at reading.ac.uk/news/2024/Expe…

Was #CloudSeeding responsible for the huge rainfall amounts and flooding in #UAE / #Dubai ?

Unlikely.

They’ve been doing it for years and theoretically adds 15-25% extra rain. Very hard to prove on the ground but even take 25% off, it still would have been >yearly rainfall.

'We get about 30 to 50 tornadoes every year'

Simon chats to Jon & Sally on #BBCBreakfast about a suspected tornado that overturned a caravan and sent wheelie bins flying in Knutton, Staffordshire

Sunny spells and April showers today.

Still chilly in the wind which will be quite blustery, but not as windy as yesterday.

It was proper weather bingo yesterday...wind, rain, hail, thunderstorm, sunshine, 'tornado'.

How many did you tick off? ✅

There's quieter weather to come, I've got the forecast on BBC Breakfast

We've had a couple of reports of possible tornadoes in to TORRO (Tornado & Storm Research Organisation) this morning, including this

I've looked into the archive...the last time we had a big area of high pressure (drier weather) dominant over the UK was early January!

It'll make a welcome return at the end of the week but devil is in the detail in terms of cloud, sunshine and temperature.

Watch out for nasty conditions on the roads this morning with a band of heavy rain spreading SE.

Behind it, we've got showers with sleet/hail and hill snow. Odd thunderstorm too ⚡️

Morning 👋, your Monday will start off pretty wet with heavy rain spreading SE.

While there'll be sunny spells developing, showers will feed in on a strong - and chilly - NW wind ☔️

Full forecast on @bbcbreakfast 👍

Back on BBC Breakfast tomorrow.

After months of wet weather, it’s looking increasingly likely that a drier spell is on its way with high pressure building…🌂. Stay tuned for the detail 👀

Cracking start to your Sunday morning...🤩

Sunny spell and showers today but most notable is the colder feel, especially in the SE.

I've got your @bbcbreakfast and BBC Radio 5 Live forecasts

Look what I've found 👀

The lesser spotted 'area of high pressure' for the end of next week.

Something that's been lacking in previous weeks/months, it should bring drier conditions but as this is a week away, it could change so stay tuned!

On BBC Breakfast duty this morning 👋

Another warm day with sunny spells in SE Eng but cloudier with some rain/showers elsewhere AND cooler compared to yesterday...

As suggested yesterday, there’s some bad weather for the start of the #TheMasters . Could have an impact/delays as reported by @bbcsport…

bbc.co.uk/sport/golf/687…

The Masters begins on Thursday in Augusta and the weather looks pretty wet. Heavy rain with risk of thunderstorms could impact the first day.

Much drier, sunnier and warmer though for the rest of the week ☀️
