Local (2.2km) projections are intended to be useful for impacts assessments that require enhanced spatial detail or information on changes in extreme weather at local and hourly timescales. However, they only downscale versions of the Hadley Centre climate model and the RCP8.5 scenario, and so sample

precisely. This is similar to the natural chaos within our climate system - the butterfly effect mentioned earlier. But, if we repeat this experiment and drop more and more balls in, a distribution forms at the bottom. What we can see is that a ball is more likely to land near the centre

computer in 1959. Operational weather forecasts, driven by NWP, began six years later in 1965.  1991: The Unified Model The Unified Model, which allows seamless weather and climate modelling, was implemented in 1991. This was a year after the Hadley Centre for Climate Science and Services was founded

with intermediaries in Nairobi (Kounkuey Design Initiative (KDI)) and Dar es Salaam (Centre for Community Initiatives (CCI)) to build their expertise and the range of tools available to them. Together they created a framework and toolkit to underpin a new communication system for the creation, flow

the polar stratosphere tilts away from the Sun during the winter, the air above the pole becomes extremely cold becoming as low as minus 80 Celsius by December. Circulating around this cold pool is the stratospheric polar vortex with an area of low pressure at its centre. The vortex appears each
