On average the UK gets 436 hours of sunshine between March and the end of May.This year we have bathed in 613 hours – and that is expected to top 620 hours when all figures are collated.
Professor Liz Bentley, chief executive of the Royal Meteorological Society, told BBC News: “We’ve swung from a really unsettled spell with weather systems coming in off the Atlantic to a very, very settled spell. “It’s part of a pattern where we’re experiencing increasingly extreme weather as the climate changes.”
The Met Office says this year is not an indicator of the future, because the jet stream might behave differently.Some of them believe the rapid man-made heating of the Arctic, which has led to record temperatures and wildfires in Siberia, may be influencing the jet stream, although that is not proven.
Latest from the metoffice who's forecast changes every hour rain & more rain, as activity increases weather turns to effluent.
'Scientists suspect man-made climate change may be implicated, but it is too soon to tell' making up stuff to create balance is not reporting! Its so obvious. Unusual weather is increasing everywhere and if your unable to report the cause i'd suggest writing a nice novel instead.
Hi could you link to how to save water now please? stwater have a request on their site due to the weather,
ClimateEmergency
Stuck in a time warp astounded
But all tht overload of rain during winter & flooding wld hv bn arranged into underground storage by various water cps. To ensure no water shortage as tht is what happens for the coming summer periods! YES? Or hv the above land bn sold off for cash?

If they are astounded it’s because they have been living under a rock. Climate denial will cause unimaginable disaster.
TheSnowDreamer Effect of switch in AO from +ve to -ve together with meridional jet stream often found at solar minimum.
Should try living in Manchester, we get all seasons in a day quite regularly.
Then purify water, stop water Companies paying obscene dividends to Shareholders & cut Fat_Cat salaries, and invest, Simple - ofwat
Just u wait till july onwards when holiday parks open etc it will be raining 40 days 40nights
FFS it's called Global Warming - Don't tell us you don't understand. It will get worse ... but you just carry on with your bullshit propaganda - Scotland being some 10 degrees cooler will survive longer.
Need to start saving for a rainy day
Nothing IS British. It’s a Manmade artificial construct like time.
Over here ClimateCrisis
Sounds like a medical condition the would be proud off !
Good. We had enough rain in winter
It's not really astounding, it didn't just start happening. But it did gain so much momentum in the past 5-7 years. And that it's unsettling.
This is obviously caused by the lack of pollution over the last few weeks, everything has a knock on effect, this is how our weather should be without human intervention. Don’t worry, it’ll be all rain again once we start operating as normal.
Its called a stock photo from two years ago
Sorry, did they not know that we’re in a midst of a climate emergency?
Astounds?!? Really? With everything we know about ClimateChange I don’t think anyone should be astounded and any reports on weather should include info on ClimateEmergency and actions that need to be taken.
The Met Office says this year is 'NOT' an indicator of the future, because the jet stream 'MIGHT' behave differently. Scientists suspect man-made climate change 'MAY' be implicated, 'BUT' it is too soon to tell. Oh, total 'BOLLOCKS' then.
Trees in London are shedding their leaves - something that only happens outside of Autumn, during severe drought. Unbelievably weather forecasters still burble on about 'lovely sunny weather' and the 'risk' of rain (if only).
The Weather Needs To Be Put On The 'Prevent' Programme as Part Of The Never Ending War On The Climate We Do Not Tolerate Extremism Of Any Form, Right? Even The Extremely Nice People, Super Empaths Who Are Jolly DoGooders Must Be Put On The Prevent Programme If They're Muzzies
that's the natures response to the relentless chemical spraying of our skies, globally, non stop... - psychopaths running the global dimming program and harming people's health along the way...
It is simply another stab by the BBC and the Met Office to keep the AGW 'climate change' fraud in the news. Both organisations in need of securing future funding and what better way to get it, than by appealing to those who fund the fraudsters.
Have they not heard of climate change
It’s REALLY weird the way people are taking this to mean that the Met Office was quite literally astounded
How can the weather astound scientists? All Transportation combined and animal agriculture are the two most climate damaging and have been known for over 50yrs. Are people changing their ways? No hence the COVID-19 and Weather. It’s going to burn if people don’t change.
How is anyone 'astounded' when we all know global warming is getting worse... It's causing all sorts of unusual things to happen.
I started filling out the garden in march, that is what has done it!
See what happens when you stop pumping pollution into the air? Look no proper rain for a month. Happens quite often over the decades if you research it🤔 but don't worry as lockdown comes out we will have plenty of rain...! Floods next, oh poop we better get prepared 🤬🤬🤬☔☔☔
It's because we've stopped creating clouds via air travel & traffic pollution...
You would have thought they would have seen this coming... but seriously we're fucked.

Why? Abrupt Climate Emergency gw xr
Wow! Sense the tone. It's as though something is fucking with our weather patterns. What could that be?
I wonder, could we be going through some kind of climate change? 🤔
Temperatures rose significantly after 9/11 when air travel was banned in America because the contrails left by aircraft were absent. we are witnessing the same thing with the covid lockdown.
Was it 1975 or 1976 when it snowed in June and then stopped raining for months? As the IPCC said in 2001 and continues to say: ”The climate system is a coupled non-linear chaotic system, and therefore the long-term prediction of future climate states is not possible“
Astounded are they? News of ClimateBreakdown not reached the MetOffice yet then? Wow, are they in for a suprise...
Why?!? Haven't you noticed, the world is going to hell in a handbasket!
😶... what?!....the metoffice prophesized?.& got it wrong🤔 I thought they got Gods Plans all figured out....🙄
Just think the other year we had hosepipe bans and what did the water companies do? Sweet FA because they are all owned by foreign companies! That will be next! Let’s just embrace this seasonal weather it’s got nothing to do with climate change!
the penny finally drops
I may be wrong. But.. I believe that the weather does what it wants.
Something else they will blame on corona bloody nutty world
Yes, astounding, apparently the weather has never changed before. In the past the weather was entirely consistent with every month of every year following the exact same pattern. Now everything is ruined, because humans.
Too dry? Just use some snowflake tears.
Increased probability of exactly this, is as predicted by theory of atmospheric warming...caused by human pollution, in earth’s instance.
And i thought 2003, 2018 or 2019 Would be hot.
Breaking news... Water evaporates.
You don't know who to believe now adays as anyone can find either past old photos to make us think this is now. After all the rain and floods had a few months ago, where has all the rain gone as they are back to the old story once again, climate change and money talks
Unpredictable UK weather confounds weather experts? Didn't the met office just buy a huge new computer? Weather changes, climate doesn't.
If only the water companies had fixed the leaks instead of giving all the profits out to shareholders
Maybe they need to be staffed by people who DON'T get surprised by weather changes
We have been getting it all over here! Thanks! 😞
They may want to start looking at the Sun instead of fake man made climate change. Perhaps then they won't be so astounded.
NorthEastTweets “Astounded”. Really.
Because it's 2020 and nothing can be normal.
CLIMATE CHANGE
So we must be looking forward to it pissing down throughout July and August?
Not rocket science human movement creates wind , long time bomb dropping does the same , all has had impact so when the earth stands still you will see a climate shock, said this 3 months ago , beware of a climate shock , wheres these so called scientists to say that
It’s called climate change
planes not in the sky spraying their crap it seems
Like the time we had a 'drought' and a hosepipe ban and it pissed down for 6 months. If normal seasonal weather astounds the met office they're probably in the wrong job.
Not sure why this is astounding weather experts... climate change science says that warmer, wetter winters and hotter summers are likely.
Gosh. It's almost as if there's some kind of man made variable that is impacting the normal weather flow, isn't it?
Flooding a few months ago and now dryness
Extreme dryness
