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

flooding on roads, with disruption to numerous rail services due to flooded platforms, stations, or lines. Vehicles were stranded in flood water in Ashington, West Sussex, and a mini-tornado was reported in Worthing causing some minor damage to gardens. Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue reported

, UK data produced by the National Climate Information Centre at the Met Office, chart the new records now broken almost on an annual basis. We recorded the all-time highest UK temperature of 38.7°C recorded during last July’s heatwave at Cambridge Botanic Gardens. By using a technique called

in the delivery of the heat health aspect of MOAP research. He said: “The impacts of higher temperatures on health are numerous and often feedback on each other in negative ways. They range from immediate impacts, such as direct temperature stress on humans, animals, and ecosystems, to longer-term

from global warming or the effects of tsunamis. 3.2 Geographic focus 3.2.1 Sindh The Sindh province spans the eastern section of the Pakistan coastline, from the mouth of the Hub River by Karachi up to Sir Creek near the India-Pakistan border. The Sindh coastline itself can be split into the Karachi

These have been derived from the global projections using statistical techniques. 2.2 When are the Local (2.2km) projections the most appropriate dataset? For guidance on which set of projections to use, you should first consult UKCP18 Guidance
