hours’ difference in the expected arrival of the rain. Why is the weather changing? The big picture To understand the reasons behind this shift, it is necessary to look beyond the UK and consider the broader atmospheric picture. The jet stream plays a crucial role in shaping our weather, and its

in different regions – rich compared to poor? How wealthy a country is influences how well it can adapt to a changing climate? 20 minutes Groupwork Tell the students that the most crucial step to limit the negative impacts of climate change is to make big and quick reductions in global greenhouse gas emissions

. The more of these pollutants we breathe, the higher the risk of harm and the bigger impact it can have on our health. There are many causes of air pollution. Outdoor air pollution’s caused by: • vehicles (cars, vans, planes, trains, boats and so on) • factories • farming • burning fuel (bonfires, wood

everything right! • Need for speed, for model development and application. E.g. do global climate models need to be non-hydrostatic? • Need to span full range of uncertainty/risk. Model uncertainty a bigger factor for climate than weather? Is the concept of an ensemble of each centre’s ‘best’ climate

respiratory problems, heart disease and other health conditions. “There is also a concern for older people who have difficulty heating their homes to a comfortable level because of the bigger energy bills we are facing. There is concern too for those with restricted mobility, who may find it harder

what you do? The weather has a big impact on what I’m able to achieve in my photography. I use an iPhone camera, so nothing very technical, but it means that I have it with me wherever I go. Being able to know with a good level of certainty what the weather conditions will be on days where I am
