The Yangtze River Basin is home to more than 400 million people and is a key agricultural region in China. The region is prone to flooding on a semi-regular basis due to the influence of the East Asian Summer Monsoon. Researchers from the Climate Science for Service Partnership China project have

Exceptionally wet weather - November 2012 A sequence of heavy rainfall events in late November 2012 resulted in one of the wettest weeks in England in the last 50 years. The rain was due to a series of low pressure systems crossing the UK. Individually, each of these events was not exceptional

for both methods throughout the melt season (Figure 4). This is likely because the immediate effect of the July Arctic Dipole was to cause an Arctic-wide drop in ice concentration, which did not feed through into ice extent until much later in the season.

Summary Arctic sea ice extent for September 2024 was joint-4th lowest on record. Areas of moderately low ice extent were evenly spread over most of the Arctic, though a small area of isolated ice survived in the Chukchi Sea Summer Arctic weather was warm early in the season but cool later

Summary Arctic sea ice extent for September 2025 was 5.23 million sq km according to the OSI SAF Sea Ice Index, well below the 1981-2010 average but among the higher September extents observed since 2007 Ice loss was above average early in the 2025 melt season, however this was mainly due
