Some extratropical cyclones possess a maximum of surface wind speed equatorward of their low centres at the end of the feature known as the back‐bent front, and close to the tip of a characteristic cloud feature known as a cloud head. In the twentieth century, Norwegian meteorologists referred to this feature as ‘the poisonous tail’ of the back‐bent front. In 2004, Browning coined the term sting jet...
ManUniCast is a real‐time weather and air‐quality forecasting portal developed for education and outreach at the University of Manchester. The web portal http://manunicast.com displays model output from a weather research and forecast (WRF) simulation with 20km horizontal grid spacing over the North Atlantic and Europe, including a 4km nest over the UK and Ireland. Also available is output from a...
The Met Office 1km radar‐derived precipitation‐rate composite over 8 years (2006–2013) is examined to evaluate whether it provides an accurate representation of annual‐average precipitation over Great Britain and Ireland over long periods of time. The annual‐average precipitation from the radar composite is comparable with gauge measurements, with an average error of +23mmyr−1 over Great Britain and...
Four cool seasons of Met Office sea‐level pressure analyses revealed 217 extratropical cyclones (<995hPa): 94 had single warm and cold fronts (Norwegian cyclones) and 123 had two cold fronts, two warm fronts, or both two cold and two warm fronts. The most common double‐front cyclone developed when warm and cold fronts were drawn into the circulation of a growing cyclone to produce a cyclone with...
