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. 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

awareness to the communities in the area to plant trees in their compounds and garden boundaries in order to reduce dependence on the existing natural forest reserves. Modern Water and Soil conservation practices are used during the wet and dry seasons and the advisories provided in the Seasonal

, with the east coast and central plateau catching the lion's share of the wet weather, whilst the more sheltered west coast is much drier. The later summer months are also the main cyclone season for Mauritius. Fortunately the chances of a cyclone passing over the island are remote, with most cyclones

to a more comfortable average of 32.9 ºC in Cancun in October, making vacationing here increasingly appealing. October marks the decline of the wet season with average rainfall falling to 140 mm - a stark contrast from the summer months. Humidity is relatively high at around 80% but the trade winds keep

and windy weather from a succession of low-pressure systems, including the first named storm of the 2024/25 season. The month started with wet weather across the Midlands and East Anglia, followed by a brief interlude of settled weather as high-pressure dominated. A major Atlantic low-pressure system

The second named storm of the season.

in the day, a Yellow wind warning is also in place for Storm Bronagh - the second named storm system of the season- covering much of England and parts of Wales. Storm Bronagh will bring wind gusts of 45-50 mph quite widely around exposed coasts and in a few spots inland, while some gusts of 60-65 mph

, to relatively wet conditions in the south. The climate is hot throughout the year but with seasonal rains, which can vary from year-to-year. The large differences in rainfall across the country mean there are a wide variety of livelihoods and agricultural production systems, which correspond

. Climate risks to maize are many. It is susceptible to erratic rainfall during wet season. Yields will decrease or the crop will be spoilt in extreme heat. Maize is grown in higher rainfall areas at the edges of the rainy season through early and late planting. Maize does not like waterlogging

Storm Henk, 2 January 2024 Storm Henk, the eighth storm of the 2023-2024 storm season, brought damaging winds and heavy rain to southern and central parts of England and Wales on 2 January 2024. Winds gusted widely at over 50Kt (58mph), even in inland locations, while Exeter Airport recorded a gust
