areas of South Asia risks to infrastructure and settlements will be exacerbated by more intense cyclones, storm surges and rising sea levels. Roughly 370 million people in South Asia are already exposed to significant flood risk, mostly in low-lying coastal areas of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh
IMPACT POTENTIALS • MINOR: Localised flooding affecting roads and low-lying areas; Impact to private properties; Minimal impact to road users and daily activities. • MODERATE: Moderate impacts to the community, transport and infrastructure • MAJOR: Widespread flooding bringing about major impact

February. High pressure typically brings settled, dry weather, and while it’s not unusual to see such pressure systems in spring, their persistence this year has been more pronounced than usual. A key reason for this lies in the behaviour of the jet stream, a fast-flowing air current high in the atmosphere
Africa’s success lies in its collaborative co-produced approach, bringing together a wide range of partners from regional to national and local levels. This ensures that the activities created are not only relevant but deeply rooted in the real-world needs of the communities WISER operates. With this new
of the cumulonimbus extent field, seems to suggest that the new 0.25 degree resolution data has lower values overall. • This is because at 1.25 degree resolution all of the model points that lie within this grid box (at the underlying model resolution) are sampled, and the highest value is used. This process
