As we speak. it's been turning colder across the uk through saturday, the colder air trickling south, but late sunday into monday, we start to really pull in proper arctic air and then, our temperatures will nosedive. a frost—free start for england and wales on sunday. some patchy cloud around. some showers of rain here for scotland. some showers of snow, particularly across the highest ground, but perhaps down to lower levels for a time as well. and for many in scotland, the temperatures won't get above freezing through sunday. closer to the coast, as you can see, a little milder. england a...

And for many in scotland, the temperatures won't get above freezing through sunday. closer to the coast, as you can see, a little milder, england and wales, sixes and sevens as the highs. what we have at the moment is a powerfuljet stream to the west of the uk, diving a long way south and within thatjet it's not all the same speed. there's little pockets where things go faster, things move around. and as that happens, in the midst of a big area of low pressure sitting to the northeast of the uk, we see little weather features developing. so there's the big low drifting towards scandinavia. but...

The changes in technology taking our understanding of lightning to new extremes. this time on weather world, we are on the isle of wight where, in february, a gust of wind of 122 miles per hour was recorded — and that is a new record for england. it happened during storm eunice. an area of low pressure that underwent explosive cyclogenesis. bbc weather�*s climate check presenter ben rich takes a closer look at the science behind these rapidly strengthening storms. a bomb cyclone is a scary name for what is essentiallyjust an area of low pressure that has deepened and strengthened quickly a...

And dramatically, something meteorologist call explosive cyclogenesis. now, imagine a column of air from the ground up to the level of the jet stream at around 30,000 feet or so. a disturbance in the powerfuljet stream forces the air aloft to accelerate away, removing air from the top of the column. the column ways left and so the force it is exerting on the ground, the pressure gets lower. the column weighs less and so the force it is exerting on the ground, the pressure gets lower. hence, low pressure. nearthe ground, air rushes in to replace what is lost higher up, and the area of low press...
