of the jet stream can lead to big differences in the weather we experience on the ground. In recent weeks, the jet stream has been either directed towards the UK, or shifted further south, which has predominantly brought cooler air over the UK, with frequent incursions of some unseasonable winds and rain

is really strong, the charged particles can also interact with all sorts of technology, both here on Earth and out in space (slide 11). A big space weather event can cause power cuts, it can stop satellites working and it can knock-out many types of communications. This is why it’s really important

for projects to learn from each other and work together towards the bigger picture of WISER Africa, rather than as discrete projects. The review meetings will also help projects prepare for Strategy Testing (see above) by supporting project teams to approach their MEL work with a more critical mindset

the line and de-icing the surface of the 3rd rail.   “Leaves on the line can be a big issue at this time of year. When trains run over leaves on a track, it creates a poor adhesion environment, where trains – which are obviously very heavy – struggle to get the friction required to move and stop

forecast is how long this heat will persist before cooler, more unsettled conditions return.  The Big Picture At the time of writing, the jet stream is positioned to the north of the UK, allowing high pressure to dominate and usher in warm air from the south. This setup is expected to hold through

lots of water vapour. High humidity makes it very hard for sweat to evaporate from our bodies which means that we cannot cool down. For people working outside or in overheating buildings, especially where the work is physically demanding, humid heat is a big problem. The world is getting warmer

before the introduction of named storms in 2015. “One thing that is clear from observations is that there’s big variability year-to-year in the number and intensity of storms that impact the UK. This large variability is related to the UK’s location at the edge of continental Europe and relatively
