services for the water sector in South Asia? OPENING SESSION The day began with a formal opening of the workshop by Mandira Singh Shrestha, Programme Coordinator for the Climate Services and Hi-Risk initiatives, ICIMOD. She warmly welcomed the participants, acknowledging the different countries

remaining cloudy for most, it was another unseasonably warm day with Kew Gardens (London) reaching 22.9 °C. An area of rain over East Anglia and the south-east cleared after noon on the 30th, followed by lines of showers or longer spells of rain, occasionally heavy and thundery, moving eastwards through

temperature on 13 October was 26.5 °C at Donna Nook (Lincolnshire). This fell well short of the UK October record of 29.9 °C on 1 October 2011, but nevertheless was unseasonably warm so late in the year. The maps below show daily maximum temperature anomalies on 13 and 14 October 2018. Minimum

direction, i.e. lower temperature and reduced rainfall (colder and drier) as well as higher temperature and increased rainfall (warmer and wetter) are more likely than the two variables changing in opposite directions. • The position of the individual simulations and the shaded area, displaced up

on this year’s report he said: “By measuring Earth’s surface temperature since 1850 we know that 2021 was one of the six hottest years since records began. However, natural variations including planetary cycles – such as the temporary cooling of the tropical Pacific during the recent La Niña event – can

indicated that there was a 40% chance of the temperature temporarily exceeding 1.5°C between 2021-2025.  Paris Agreement Dr Leon Hermanson, of the Met Office, led today’s report. He said: “Our latest climate predictions show that continued global temperature rise will continue, with an even chance

By comparing different meteorological reference periods, a number of interesting trends can be observed. For example, the hottest day of each year over the most recent decade (2008-2017) in the UK has been on average 0.8 °C warmer than the hottest day of each year over the period 1961-1990

As the atmosphere continues to warm, the amount of moisture a parcel of air can contain also rises. This moisture content is recorded as humidity, which when combined with rising temperature can pose a significant threat of heat stress to communities. Near the surface, specific humidity
