“…Most of the daily, monthly and annual gridded datasets have been made available for climate change research from the following web address: These gridded datasets have been used in studies analysing trends for Scotland (Barnett et al, 2006), for the whole UK (Jenkins et al, 2007) and for the East Anglia region (Dent, 2012). This paper describes an updated and more comprehensive analysis of the available gridded temperature data series to identify trends during the period 1910-2011.…”

Gridded temperature datasets covering the UK at 5 km × 5 km resolution have been analysed for temporal and spatial patterns of change and variability. Decadal‐scale variability is visualized by smoothing the data series using a kernel smoother. Trends have been analysed by comparing averages for a baseline period with averages for a recent period, as well as using linear regression. Spatial patterns of change have been mapped by calculating trends for each grid point. Monthly gridded datasets of daily maximum, minimum and mean air temperatures are available from 1910 to date. These show statistically significant increases for all parts of the UK, with the rate of change increasing from the north and west to the south and east. Seasonally, the least significant changes have occurred in the winter, with significant increases for most districts for all of the other seasons. Derived indices based on daily temperature are available from 1961 onwards. There have been significant decreases in heating degree days and increases in growing degree days for all districts, while changes in cooling degree days are less significant as the values are low and inter‐annual variability dominates. There have been significant decreases in frost days, especially in spring and autumn, and this is linked to significant increases in growing season length, especially for Scotland.

“…There is a tendency for the region to experience lengthy (>1 year) periods of belowaverage rainfall that lead to water stress in agriculture and depleted riverflows and groundwater levels. Examples include 1975-1976, 1988-1992, 1995-1997(Dent, 2012. Several of these periods have been quite wet in northwestern parts of the UK (Mayes and Wheeler, 2013).…”
