coast, but elsewhere in the UK, summer is typically the most thundery season. This variability means that maps showing thunderstorm frequency can differ depending on the period of record used. What causes lightning? Lightning is the precursor to thunder and forms within storm clouds through

time in order to reduce climate-related risks and support sustainable development for the coming season in sectors of critical socioeconomic significance. He cited South Asian Climate Outlook Forum (SASCOF) as an example of an RCOF. He added that the approach could be demonstrated in a few target

The WMO’s Early Warnings for All initiative will ensure that every person on earth will be protected by early warning systems by early 2027. The Asia Regional Resilience to a Changing Climate (ARRCC) programme, supported by UK aid, aimed to help advance implementation of impact-based forecasting

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

start of the MAM 2020 season. The sub-region will experience warmer than normal temperatures through the season. Noting that there was abundant rainfall during October – December 2019 and considering that the coming MAM 2020 rainfall season is anticipated to be wet, all stakeholders are called upon

resilience of vulnerable communities around the world since 2014. Through the WCSSP programme, we are working collaboratively on projects that focus on the global challenges of weather and climate with partners in Brazil, China, India, South Africa and Southeast Asia. International collaboration

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

is similar to figure 1.2a but probabilities of a wetter season than last year and of 10-year extremes are presented. A wetter season than 2019 is predicted to be generally very unlikely. This is not surprising given that 2019 was a record wet year in many locations. With reference to the skill

emissions could increase the variability of European seasonal rainfall, which suggests extreme events will be more likely in the future. There is an increasing risk of extremely dry seasons in the Mediterranean and extremely wet seasons elsewhere in Europe, which can lead to major impacts
