................................12 Climate change We’re causing it, so let’s tackle it...14 00.13 GMT: Just past midnight and local authority duty-officer Karen Johnson is roused from sleep by an important text. It’s the Flood Forecasting Centre in London confirming extreme rainfall in just two hours

totals are based on the average value across each county. Lead author and Met Office climate scientist, Mike Kendon, said: “Our new analysis of these observations really shines a light on the fastest changing aspects of our weather as a consequence of climate change. Long term averages can be difficult

on the ground, mounted on an aircraft or satellite-based, and can be used to observe the location and vertical profile of aerosols such as volcanic ash. A lidar measures backscattered light from atmospheric targets e.g. aerosols including volcanic ash and Saharan dust, water droplets and ice crystals, using

extent lower than every year before 2007. Each year, scientific centres around the world submit predictions of September Arctic sea ice extent to the Sea Ice Outlook (SIO), a series of reports published in June, July and August by the Sea Ice Prediction Network (SIPN). The second report of the summer

Regional Climate Centres in Africa Consolidated Capacity Needs Assessments Supported by: - 2 - Preamble In the light of the enormous challenges climate variability and climate change pose to societies, there is an urgent need to enable African countries to provide the best possible climate services

should soon fade. Through the day cloud will increase from the northwest and could be thick enough for light rain or snow over higher ground in the north. Milder, more unsettled conditions will reach north-western parts of the UK before the end of the day. Boxing Day Saturday will see a return

Some species fly during the day, such as the six-spot burnet moth which can be present in their hundreds in the meadow. 2013 Improvements at frontline sites, such as bat boxes
