level of accuracy is retained on the new mesh. This involves changing from what is termed a finite-difference method to a mixed finite-element method. The third is to implement what is referred to as the "separation of concerns". This approach to designing a model is a critical aspect to future

the representation of extreme precipitation changes in the realizations and probability distributions. The third and fourth developments improve the representation of natural climate variability in the realizations, and remove minor biases in the centring of projected climate anomalies relative

cases, the maximum impacts at 1.5°C global warming are about two-thirds of those at 2°C. Heatwaves Extremes of heat are projected to increase substantially as our climate warms. Temperatures that are currently only reached occasionally will occur much more often and for longer periods of time

In contrast, Northern Ireland and Scotland were slightly drier than average in the month.” The graph below shows every May’s average UK mean temperature back to 1884. Mixed rainfall for May across the UK Rainfall in May had much regional variation

types of climate information people might need, and how to deliver to those requirements. But there was a third element to the project too, as Dr Richard Graham, Manager of the Met Supported by: Fund Manager: Office Forecast Verification and Outreach Team, explains: “One crucial element of SCIPEA
