in losses and damages are also implicit in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) ‘Reasons For Concern’ (RFCs). The latest assessment (Working Group II (WG2) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6)) finds that for a given level of warming, these climate-related risks are higher than previously assessed

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

for current climate change, and noted as "global warming". Climate changes have possible impacations on the hydrological cycle and more so on the accessible water resources and the water required for agriculture. Therefore there is concentration about climate change effects on agricultural yield. Along
