increase is observed in tropical regions of South America, Northern Africa and through Asia. Similarly, the number of warm nights in these regions have increased by over eight days per decade, leading to a doubling since the late 1970s.  The variability of rainfall over space and time tends to be greater

of the region there is no clear consensus on whether the climate will be wetter or drier, although there is some evidence for a small delay to the start of the rainy season by mid-century in the north-east. The region has long coastlines with the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. The coastal regions bordering

. On a regional scale, Europe, North America, Asia and Australasia have very likely (over 90% probability) observed an increase in heat extremes and decrease in cold extremes. Europe, Asia and Australia have also likely (over 66% probability) observed an increase in heatwaves. Due to less data

conditions thereafter - this is the dry season, so observed rainfall totals were small. 3-Month Outlook September to November - Rainfall Outlook: Over the next three months, the West African Monsoon will move south. Many areas of west and central Africa are likely to be wetter than normal. Eastern

, Dennis and Jorge, bringing wet and windy weather in February. The most noteworthy winter month was February, due to a rapid succession of named storms, rainfall totals were well above normal virtually everywhere, with many places getting more than three times their expected average. It was the wettest

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

balanced (Climatological Odds). This wet signal extends into northern Mozambique. Otherwise, much of southern Africa is more likely to be drier than normal, although in absolute terms the potential rainfall deficit is likely to be small as this is towards the end of the dry season. Tropical cyclones

this is more difficult, increasing health risk to humans. Analysis of the new data has shown that global annual / seasonal mean of maximum daily wet bulb temperature, a measure of humidity, has increased by around 0.2°C each decade between 1973-2022. This rate of change is even higher when looking

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
