% and -36% by 2100. This more intense cycle is also visible in the Sub-Andean mountain range with strongest precipitation decreases around August. In the highlands, this pattern reverses by 2100 with strongest relative precipitation in-and decrease during the dry- and wet season respectively. Because

season in Nepal. Model evaluation criteria: How well do the climate models capture the large-scale processes in the atmosphere that cause extreme precipitation events? Model assessment criteria: In a south Asian monsoon, how well does the model capture wind speed and direction over the monsoon period

and August’s respective average temperatures were generally closer to average. However, despite above average temperatures for the season, it has also been a wetter than average summer, with July leading the way in terms of rainfall; which was provisionally the UK’s sixth wettest July on record

. 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

‘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
