year, assuming RCP2.6 means they would be approximately once every 3 years. Beyond that the chance of summers this hot is strongly governed by emission pathway – increasing significantly under RCP8.5 but levelling off under RCP2.6. These results are in line with existing attribution studies showing

to assist developing countries in responding to losses and damages. Extreme weather events – made more extreme by climate change trigger losses and damage to local communities. Picture iStock As planning for COP28 accelerates, the topic of Loss and Damage will once again be high on the agenda

and dying out, then it turned brighter, but with cloud increasing once more over the north late in the day. Many areas were cloudy and windy on the 6th, with outbreaks of rain or drizzle during the day but mostly over central and northern counties, and Brizlee Wood (Northumberland) recording gusts to 58

become frozen together to form sea ice floes with a very rough appearance. Once nilas or pancake ice has formed, seawater can freeze on to the bottom of it causing the ice to thicken through a process known as 'congelation growth'. Congelation growth traps pockets of seawater and air bubbles within

Endersby briefed the Board on an Executive development plan. • The Board discussed progress in standing up and delivering bids in the Strategic Priorities Fund waves 1 & 2. • The Board discussed Met Office funding streams and opportunities. • Steph Hurst briefed the Board on her move to a new role

to a slightly lesser extent. Low pressure systems mostly dominated the weather, with any brief spells of high pressure bringing settled weather generally short-lived in nature. Summer warmth was mostly confined to southern and eastern areas, with only one really hot day on 10th when temperatures reached
