Temperature The mean annual temperature over the region varies from around 9.5 °C to just over 10.5 °C. Variations in temperature depend on both altitude, with a decrease of about 0.5 °C

, Warwick, Imperial College and STFC's Hartree Centre. The challenge of the project was to design a dynamical core that retains the advantages of the current one but that is significantly more efficient on future supercomputer architectures. There were three principal recommendations of the project

The prolonged nature of both the heavy rainfall and the strongest winds will have exacerbated the weather impacts experienced from this storm Babet.

Unprecedented wildfires in Canada and parts of Amazonia last year were at least three times more likely due to climate change and contributed to high levels of CO2 emissions from burning globally.
