affect the natural variation of our weather. There is the potential for the weak La Niña signal to affect the UK’s weather this month, but it is vying for influence of the UK winter weather with a range of other competing global climate influences which can also affect our weather. Whatever weather we

predictions of climate for vulnerable regions of Africa, including predictions of extremes for critical variables such as rainfall. This project aims to evaluate key local processes and modes of variability, and to develop improved understanding of both local and remote influences driving African climate

Rather, El Niño events should be regarded as shifting the odds in favour of the typical response which may, for example, increase the risk of heavy rainfall and consequent
