month on average) and the west and central mountainous regions are wetter (up to 250mm per month depending on the season) (figure 2). Most of the country experiences the majority of its rainfall in two main seasons with the long rains from March-May and the short rains in October- 4 November (figure 3

assessment report (AR5) as one of the most important risks facing coastal nations and communities. The low-lying islands and densely populated coastal areas of South Asia are vulnerable to the impacts of sea-level rise, such as coastal erosion and increased inundation from tropical cyclone storm surges

decrease is about 15%. However, some basins in south and east Asia are projected to see increased flow in all simulations. Flows in the Ganges increase by up to 90% at 1.5°C and by up to 130% at 2°C. Figure 2. Range of projected changes in flow in major river basins at 2°C and 1.5°C global warming

Monday and Tuesday are expected to be the best days of the week, before things turn wetter and windier from midweek. Today (Monday), showers will develop across western areas, while eastern parts remain largely dry with sunny spells. It will feel cooler than the weekend, with breezy conditions

of the timing, magnitude, and variability of wet-season rainfall and its extremes to access the impact on the water resources. Here, our focus is to look for models that demonstrate reasonable skills in simulating rainfall patterns over the study region as well as the wider Indian subcontinent. We assessed

as the major driver of the timing, magnitude, and variability of wet-season rainfall and its extremes to access the impact on the water resources.

Seasonal Assessment – Spring 2021 The following represents a provisional assessment of the weather experienced across the UK during Spring 2021 (March, April and May) and how it compares with the 1981 to 2010 average. This spring was a season of contrasts. Overall it was colder than average

Unusual conditions in the tropics and stratosphere gave rise to the very wet winter of 2013-14, in which there was damaging flooding in many parts of England.

to the very wet weather. Over the course of a season, even influences from the other side of the globe can change the weather experienced in the UK.   New study published Today, in a study published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, a team of Met Office and University of Oxford scientists

Storm Jorge Storm Jorge was the fifth named storm of the 2019/2010 season. Jorge was named by the Spanish meteorological service and brought strong winds and heavy rain across the UK from 28 February to 1 March. Impacts Weather impacts from storm Jorge were in general less severe than from storms

, but not exceptional, autumn storm for the UK, but as the fourth named storm of the 2023-2024 storm season, contributed to a generally wet, stormy and unsettled spell of weather affecting the UK through the autumn. Impacts The worst weather impacts from storm Debi were across the Republic of Ireland where
