These maps show the areas of greatest concern for experiencing severe climate-related impacts at 4°C global warming relative to pre-industrial levels (1850-1900).

These maps show the areas of greatest concern for experiencing severe climate-related impacts at 4°C global warming relative to pre-industrial levels (1850-1900). They highlight those regions where people may be exposed to severe climate-related impacts, and regions where multiple severe impacts

Annual to Decadal Climate Update provides a synthesis of global annual and multi-year computer model predictions (forecasts) covering the next five years.

of climate prediction. However, it is still unclear just how competently machine learning will predict events that have not yet been seen in the observational record. 8. How can I access the Annual to Decadal forecast data? To access the forecast data, send your request to [email protected]. This is raw data in netcdf format provided for research purposes for someone who has experience working with climate data.

Climate change isn’t just affecting global temperature, it’s also changing the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere with potentially significant impacts, finds a new study looking at global humidity.

Kate Willett is a Met Office scientist and author of a new study looking at global humidity – the amount of water vapour held in the atmosphere as a gas. She said: “Think of climate change and people immediately think of rising temperatures. This isn’t wrong, but it misses a key fact that climate
