characteristics of the East Asian Summer Monsoon compared to regional scale models, including the daily cycle of rainfall across many regions of China. Li et al (2019) focussed on an event in 2016 where 600mm of rainfall fell over parts of eastern China in just 6 days leading to catastrophic flooding

, but also in many parts of the world in the East Asia, in the Middle East, in North America and so forth.   “So, with the current trend of carbon-dioxide emissions and greenhouse gas concentration increasing, we can only say that the frequency, unfortunately will still be going on in the future

monsoon season. This call for research invites contributions that will advance understanding of the representation and predictability of monsoon extreme rainfall events at different scales, and their associated interactions and feedback. Timeline: Stage Target Times The deadline for submitting

Weather patterns describe the dominant characteristics associated with particular conditions such as wet or dry weather. The Weather and Climate Science for Service Partnership India project has developed a new weather pattern forecasting tool that has the ability to provide an earlier assessment

. December average temperatures 6 o C above the long-term mean in England from the Midlands southwards, and 5 o C above the long-term mean elsewhere. Average seasonal temperatures 3 o C above the long-term mean across the UK. Compound months and seasons November to April Wet (rainfall 2.5 times

the implementation of the new service will be shared through workshops to benefit other developing countries across Southern Africa, supporting the WMO’s ambition of a global rollout of IbF. WCSSP Southeast Asia The damage and loss of life caused by severe weather in Southeast Asia is a significant barrier

‘Wet’ days: greater than the 1981-2010 90 th percentile daily precipitation ‘Windy’ days: greater than the 1981-2010 90 th percentile daily mean windspeed The thresholds are calculated separately by month and region, and the frequencies of exceedance averaged by nation and season. Based on UKCP18

events in Nepal Studying past extreme rainfall events in South Asia has highlighted the importance of the timing and location of monsoon rainfall. Extreme events often occur during years with high variability in monsoon rains, and not necessarily years with above average seasonal rainfall. Extreme

but probabilities of a wetter season than last year and of 10-year extremes are presented. A wetter season than 2018 is favoured in most boxes east of 30E and between 10N and 10S. Elsewhere a drier season than 2018 is likely in most grid boxes. Probabilities of a season drier than any in the past 10 years (2009
