Climate Information Centre at the Met Office. He said: “Although there’s still around a week left of February, it has been a notably dry month so far, especially in the south of England.  “In short, high pressure has been dominant over the UK, helping to repel rain-bearing systems across much

for the East Anglia region, one of the areas which is projected to be most affected by water scarcity.  By using novel approaches and new datasets, the Met Office worked alongside Anglian Water to strengthen their understanding of drought risk – both for today and for the future, in a warmer world

, the UK’s coldest December on record in a series from 1884, was an exceptional 5.1°C colder than the 1991-2020 average.  Mike Kendon is a climate information scientist working for the National Climate Information Centre in the Met Office. He said: “December’s weather will principally be remembered

been shown to have a critical role in the occurrence of malaria outbreaks in Ethiopia’s highlands. Higher-than-normal rates of malaria in Ethiopia have been associated with higher temperatures in the current and preceding season, often associated with El Nino.4 Evidence suggests that warming

and heavier. Climate model projections for the 2040s show strong agreement for an increase in temperature, but no strong signal for changes in rainfall. Climate change projections for Sudan indicate a substantial warming trend across the country. In contrast, rainfall projections are mixed, with most models
