  • More extreme weather events with planetary warming

    increase is observed in tropical regions of South America, Northern Africa and through Asia. Similarly, the number of warm nights in these regions have increased by over eight days per decade, leading to a doubling since the late 1970s.  The variability of rainfall over space and time tends to be greater

  • UK and Global extreme events – Drought

    . Shifting rainfall patterns will likely lead to some regions becoming wetter and others becoming drier. Additionally, these more arid regions could dry further because of global warming. Warmer temperatures can increase evaporation of water from the ground. As soils become drier, the air above may heat

    of the region there is no clear consensus on whether the climate will be wetter or drier, although there is some evidence for a small delay to the start of the rainy season by mid-century in the north-east. The region has long coastlines with the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. The coastal regions bordering

  • Met Office seasonal and climate models explained

    Seasonal to decadal forecasts Although climate is expected to warm over the coming century in response to increasing levels of greenhouse gases, regional changes over the coming seasons to a decade or more are likely to be dominated by unforced natural variability of the climate system. Some

  • Microsoft Word - EAfrica2020

    is similar to figure 1.2a but probabilities of a wetter season than last year and of 10-year extremes are presented. A wetter season than 2019 is predicted to be generally very unlikely. This is not surprising given that 2019 was a record wet year in many locations. With reference to the skill

  • Rainfall across Europe disrupted by climate change

    emissions could increase the variability of European seasonal rainfall, which suggests extreme events will be more likely in the future. There is an increasing risk of extremely dry seasons in the Mediterranean and extremely wet seasons elsewhere in Europe, which can lead to major impacts

  • Warm May and spring for the UK

    The UK had its warmest May and meteorological spring on record according to provisional Met Office figures in what was also a wet and dull season for many.

    Spring 2024 provisional statistics Meteorological spring (March, April and May) was the warmest on record by mean temperature, in figures that were influenced by high overnight temperatures. March started the season with a mild and wet month, and that theme continued through much of spring. April
