What does a 30% chance of rain mean?
Will it rain today? Your weather app might say 30%, but do you know what that actually means? Ken Mylne explains why it's probably not what you're thinking...

How do tiny particles in the atmosphere influence clouds, weather, and climate? And why do aerosol effects remain one of the largest uncertainties in climate prediction?
Our 3-part masterclass series explore these questions with researchers from the University of Leeds.

Compared with 1961–1990, the number of days 5°C above average has doubled.
Days 8°C above average have trebled.
Days 10°C above average have quadrupled. RMetS
For Richard Tice this acceleration of record breaking weather is NORMAL? REALLY?
