The climate of the United Kingdom is influenced by its location between 50-60 degrees north latitude and its position on the western edge of Eurasia. These factors result in unstable weather as moist maritime and dry continental air masses converge. Regional climates vary, with western areas closest to the Atlantic being generally milder, wetter, and windier compared to cooler, drier eastern regions. Seasons bring significant temperature variations, with summer being warmest and winter generally cool, wet, and windy. The climate has not always been the same, having experienced both much warmer and colder periods in the past, such as the Little Ice Age from the 1500s to mid-1800s.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

country study Lecture 12 climate of the united kingdom
1. Climate of the United Kingdom
The United Kingdom straddles the geographic
mid-latitudes between 50-60 N from the equator.
It is also positioned on the western seaboard of
Eurasia, the world's largest land mass. These
boundary conditions allow convergence
between moist maritime air and dry continental
air. In this area, the large temperature variation
creates instability and this is a major factor that
influences the often unsettled weather the
country experiences, where many types of
weather can be experienced in a single day.
2. • Regional climates in the United Kingdom are
influenced by the Atlantic Ocean and latitude.
Northern Ireland, Wales and western parts of
England and Scotland, being closest to the
Atlantic, are generally the mildest, wettest
and windiest regions of the UK, and
temperature ranges here are seldom
extreme. Eastern areas are drier, cooler, less
windy and also experience the greatest daily
and seasonal temperature variations.
Northern areas are generally cooler, wetter
and have a smaller temperature range than
southern areas.
3. Though the UK is mostly under the influence of
the maritime tropical air mass from the southwest, different regions are more susceptible than
others when different air masses affect the
country: Northern Ireland and the west of
Scotland are the most exposed to the maritime
polar air mass which brings cool moist air; the
east of Scotland and north-east England are
more exposed to the continental polar air mass
which brings cold dry air; the south and southeast of England are more exposed to the
continental tropical air mass which brings warm
dry air; Wales and the south-west of England are
the most exposed to the maritime tropical air
mass which brings warm moist air.
4. England
England has warmer maximum and
minimum temperatures throughout the
year than the other countries of the UK,
though Wales has milder minimums from
November to February, and Northern
Ireland has warmer maximums from
December to February. England is also
sunnier throughout the year, but unlike
Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland, the
sunniest month is July, totaling 192.8
hours.
5. • It rains on fewer days in every month
throughout the year than the rest of the
UK, and rainfall totals are less in every
month, with the driest month of July
averaging 54.1 mm (2.13 in). The climate
of south-west England experiences a
seasonal temperature variation, although it
is less extreme than most of the United
Kingdom.
6. Seasons
• Spring
Spring is the period from March to May.
Spring is generally a calm, cool and dry
season, particularly because the Atlantic has
lost much of its heat throughout the autumn
and winter. However, as the sun rises higher in
the sky and the days get longer, temperatures
can rise relatively high; thunderstorms and
heavy showers can develop occasionally.
7. • Mean temperatures in Spring are markedly
influenced by latitude. Most of Scotland and
the mountains of Wales and northern England
are the coolest areas of the UK, with average
temperatures ranging from -0.6 to 5.8 C
(30.9 to 42.4 F). The southern half of England
experiences the warmest spring temperatures
of between 8.8 and 10.3 C (47.8 and 50.5 F)
8. Summer
Summer lasts from June to August and is
the hottest season. Summer can often be a
dry season, but rainfall totals can have a
wide local variation due to localized
thunderstorms. These thunderstorms
mainly occur in southern, eastern, and
central England and are less frequent and
severe in the north and west.
9. • North Atlantic depressions are not as frequent
or severe in summer but increase both in
severity and frequency towards the end of the
season. Summer often sees high pressure
systems from the Azores dominate.
• Climatic differences at this time of year are
more influenced by latitude and temperatures
are highest in southern and central areas and
lowest in the north.
10. Autumn
Autumn in the United Kingdom lasts from
September to November. The season is
notorious for being unsettled—as cool polar
air moves southwards following the sun, it
meets the warm air of the tropics and
produces an area of great disturbance along
which the country lies. This combined with the
warm ocean due to heating throughout the
spring and summer, produces the unsettled
weather of autumn.
11. Winter
Winter in the UK is defined as lasting from
December to February. The season is generally
cool, wet and windy. Temperatures at night rarely
drop below −10 °C (14 °F) and in the day rarely
rise above 15 °C (59 °F). Precipitation is plentiful
throughout the season, though snow is relatively
infrequent despite the country's high latitude:
The only area with significant snowfall is the
Scottish highlands, where at higher elevations a
colder climate determines the vegetation, mainly
temperate coniferous forest, although
deforestation has severely decreased forest area.
12. • For a majority of the landmass snow is
possible but not frequent, apart from the
higher altitudes, where snow can lie 1–5
months or even beyond 6 months.
• Towards the later part of the season the
weather usually stabilises with less wind, less
precipitation and lower temperatures. This
change is particularly pronounced near the
coasts mainly because the Atlantic ocean is
often at its coldest during this time after being
cooled throughout the autumn and the
winter.
13. • The early part of winter however is often
unsettled and stormy; often the wettest and
windiest time of the year. Snow cover on The
Saddle in the Scottish Highlands
14. • Snow falls intermittently and mainly affects
northern and eastern areas, Wales and chiefly
higher ground, especially the mountains of
Scotland where the amount of lying snow may be
significant enough on occasions to permit skiing
at one of the five Scottish ski resorts. Snow
however rarely lasts more than a week in most of
these areas as the cold air brought by northerly or
easterly winds, or in a high pressure system gives
way to mild southerly or westerly winds
introduced by low pressure systems.
15. Sunshine and cloud

England

16. • The average total annual sunshine in the
United Kingdom is 1339.7 hours, which is just
under 30% of the maximum possible. The
south coast of England often has the clearest
skies because cumulus cloud formation
generally takes place over land, and prevailing
winds from the south-west keep this cloud
from forming overhead. The counties of
Dorset, Hampshire, Sussex and Kent have
annual average totals of around 1,750 hours
of sunshine per year.
18. On occasions blocking anticyclones (high
pressure systems) may move over the United
Kingdom, which can persist for weeks or even
months. The subsided, dry air often results in
clear skies and few clouds, bringing frosty nights
in winter and hot days in the summer, when some
coastal areas can achieve almost maximum
possible sunshine for periods of weeks.
Average hours of sunshine in winter range
from 38–108 hours in some mountainous areas
and western Scotland, up to 217 hours in the
south and east of England;
19. Climate history
The climate of the United Kingdom has not
always been the way it is today. During some
periods it was much warmer and in others it
was much colder. The last glacial period was a
period of extreme cold weather that lasted for
tens of thousands of years and ended about
10,000 years ago. During this period the
temperature was so low that much of the
surrounding ocean froze and a great ice sheet
extended over all of the United Kingdom
except the south of England.
20. • The cold period from the 1500s to the mid1800s is known as the Little Ice Age.
• The temperature records in England are
continuous back to the mid 17th century. The
Central England temperature (CET) record is
the oldest in the world, and is a compound
source of cross-correlated records from several
locations in central England.
