have increased, the trend at Karachi has also accelerated. Many studies recommended regions where sea level protection measures could be prioritised. The Indus Delta Region (IDR) is such a locality, its mangrove ecosystems and vulnerability to erosion being topics of concern. The low-lying coast

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

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

-important question of whether it will be a white or not. Wintry showers are expected in the north which could technically make it a white Christmas, as we only need to see a single snowflake falling, but any lying snow will probably be confined to the mountains of Scotland. Elsewhere, showers are likely

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

are broken?  The answer lies in a Met Office dataset that's been quietly mapping our weather history  for around the last two centuries.   What’s been behind the weather?   The dominant factor behind this unusual spring has been the persistent high-pressure systems, often originating from the Azores

this period: Virtually no sunshine was recorded in many locations. Temperatures remained mild, but the atmosphere was saturated with mist, fog patches, and drizzle. Dense fog was widespread and persistent, particularly in low-lying areas. On the 6th, sites across England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland

alongside increasing amounts of born digital content. Included in this is a digital image collection – a mixture of crown images and images transferred to the Met Office by the public with a keen interest in the weather. Digital preservation lies at the heart of our archive ensuring that content

-colour image highlights where snow is lying on the ground. They are created using five channels in the near-infra-red part of the spectrum so things look a little different to what the human eye would see. Snow can be easily differentiated from the white cloud as it now appears in a bright orange

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
