for pastoralists and endangered species. • Ongoing problems of land degradation and desertification in semi-arid Central Asian lowlands may be exacerbated by more intense droughts and higher temperatures. Roughly two-thirds of Central Asia’s land area consists of dryland habitats already experiencing

average. Data are from the NCEP reanalysis. The preceding winter of 2017-18 was the third in succession to be extremely mild in the Arctic; analysis by Stroeve et al (2018) has shown that the recent mild winters in the Arctic are likely to be somewhat reducing sea ice growth. Measurements

, with a third of community pitches unplayable for two months each year. As climate variability intensifies, investment in resilient infrastructure, flexible scheduling, and real-time weather monitoring will be essential. Sport is a vital part of British culture and community life. By understanding and preparing

. This case study highlights how the LACS is already being used in practice for the third step in the cycle – Identifying adaptation options. Adaptation Options This step focuses on identifying and developing your adaptation options. This can include a number of activities such as for example: • Types

. Largely because two-thirds of the Earth is covered by ocean and the heat capacity of water considerably outweighs that of the air, the ocean acts as a regulator of the atmosphere. In polar regions temperatures become cold enough for seawater to freeze and sea ice forms on the surface of the ocean

-average temperatures. England recorded its warmest June on record, while Wales and the UK overall saw their third and second warmest Junes respectively. July continued the trend, making it the UK’s fifth warmest July on record.    Four heatwaves but no extreme peaks   Summer 2025 has seen four heatwaves
