highlighted that there is a big gap here, with cellphones proposed as the best communication channel (for example modelled on the cholera messaging which was distributed universally through local cellphone networks). Language of communication was also highlighted as essential, with two dimensions

conditions in northern Scotland and much milder air to the south of the warm front. Here, temperatures will widely reach 12-14°C, and in sheltered areas, especially in the lee of hills, values could climb to 15-16°C. Looking at the bigger picture, we can see the next low pressure system heading

, calculate the global surface temperature each month, and each year too. Global surface temperature records are needed to give us the big picture about how our climate is changing. Explain that they are going to have a look at real-life data to learn more about climate change 20 minutes Groupwork

caused by a T5 tornado. How big are tornadoes? Tornado size and intensity vary greatly. Typically, a tornado is 20 to 100 metres wide at the earths surface, lasts for a few minutes and has a track of around a mile (1.6 km). Wind speeds typically range from 75 to 100 mph (120 to 180 km/h). The largest
