and August’s respective average temperatures were generally closer to average. However, despite above average temperatures for the season, it has also been a wetter than average summer, with July leading the way in terms of rainfall; which was provisionally the UK’s sixth wettest July on record

to prolonged periods of rainfall. If the winds continue to converge, wet conditions can persist, sometimes resulting in significant rainfall totals and even flooding. Convergence lines are not limited to a particular season and can occur at any time of year. During the summer months, local sea

characteristics of the East Asian Summer Monsoon compared to regional scale models, including the daily cycle of rainfall across many regions of China. Li et al (2019) focussed on an event in 2016 where 600mm of rainfall fell over parts of eastern China in just 6 days leading to catastrophic flooding

. December average temperatures 6 o C above the long-term mean in England from the Midlands southwards, and 5 o C above the long-term mean elsewhere. Average seasonal temperatures 3 o C above the long-term mean across the UK. Compound months and seasons November to April Wet (rainfall 2.5 times

season in Nepal. Model evaluation criteria: How well do the climate models capture the large-scale processes in the atmosphere that cause extreme precipitation events? Model assessment criteria: In a south Asian monsoon, how well does the model capture wind speed and direction over the monsoon period

Weather patterns describe the dominant characteristics associated with particular conditions such as wet or dry weather. The Weather and Climate Science for Service Partnership India project has developed a new weather pattern forecasting tool that has the ability to provide an earlier assessment

, but also in many parts of the world in the East Asia, in the Middle East, in North America and so forth.   “So, with the current trend of carbon-dioxide emissions and greenhouse gas concentration increasing, we can only say that the frequency, unfortunately will still be going on in the future

‘Wet’ days: greater than the 1981-2010 90 th percentile daily precipitation ‘Windy’ days: greater than the 1981-2010 90 th percentile daily mean windspeed The thresholds are calculated separately by month and region, and the frequencies of exceedance averaged by nation and season. Based on UKCP18
