Atlas of Mortality and Economic Losses from Weather, Climate and Water Extremes reports Africa recorded 1,695 weather, water and climate related disasters, resulting in 731,747 lives lost and US$ 38.5 billion economic losses, from 1970 to 2019. The Weather and Climate Information Services (WISER
The latest edition in an annual series of global climate reports shows that Europe experienced its warmest year in 2020 by a considerable amount.
the wealth of evidence of sustained climate change with long-term trends and record or near-record values across our climate system is growing and it is becoming abundantly clear that these historically unusual values of water vapour, relative humidity, evaporation, soil moisture, drought, extreme
simulations start at year 1850. The likelihood of extreme heatwaves is calculated under four different climatic conditions: the natural climate, represented by all June temperature anomalies extracted from the NAT experiment. The climate of 2003, when the record June temperature was observed, represented

Supported by: Fund Manager: Delivery Partners: 26 The introduction of additional historical data will provide more robust historical climate record
; Arndt et al. 2010). This implies that more moisture is available to form precipitation in extreme events and to provide additional energy to further intensify such events. About two-thirds of locations globally with long, climate-quality instrumental records [e.g., as compiled in the Hadley Centre
Increasingly extreme weather is one of the most damaging and costly impacts from climate change.
New projections for rainfall and temperature extremes A new set of projections from the Met Office reveal that extremes of rainfall and high temperatures are expected to exceed the extreme conditions that we have already experienced in the UK, breaking records and placing increasing challenges
. Temperatures will vary across the country, with warm conditions in the southeast, possibly up to about 21-22°C in some areas. These temperatures fall just slightly short of some of the highest recorded throughout the event’s history and well ahead of last year's maximum temperature at St James's
