increase in frequency of marine heatwaves (Richardson et al., 2021). • Morocco – projected significant warming (Balhane et al., 2022). • Egypt – projected increase in flood frequency along Nile (He et al., 2022). • Iraq - individual downpours are projected to become more intense (Richardson et al
scenario, RCP8.5. A selection of these projections are available at global warming levels (GWLs), which partly overcomes the availability of only RCP8.5. GWLs represent the increase in surface temperatures averaged over the globe expressed relative to the pre-industrial period (1850–1900). Using GWLs
) has been on average 0.3 °C warmer than the 1981-2010 average and 0.8 °C warmer than 1961-1990. Air and ground frost l The numbers of air and ground frosts in 2016 were below average for the year overall but not exceptionally so. l The most recent decade (2007-2016) has had 7% fewer days of air frost
to which sea level will rise is dependent upon future temperature rise. If global temperature rise is limited to 1.5°C of warming, global mean sea level will rise by approximately 2-3m over the next 2000 years. However, if global temperature rise reaches 5°C of warming, global mean sea-level rise could
? Unseasonably warm or bitterly cold? Knowing what the weather’s up to now is crucial for daily decisions. And it’s vital, too, to know what’s likely tomorrow, next week, and in the months, years and decades ahead as our climate changes. This knowledge can make the difference between winning or losing, profit
the top ten warmest years have occurred since 1990. l The most recent decade (2006-2015) has been on average 0.3 °C warmer than the 1981-2010 average and 0.9 °C warmer than 1961-1990. l December 2015 was the warmest December on record for the UK. It was also the warmest December on record

If you fly, consume items transported from beyond your garden, use public transport (trains or buses) or utilities (electricity or water) or take account of severe weather warnings, you are likely to have

well-known phenomenon being the UHI effect, whereby urban areas are warmer than surrounding rural areas. This arises due to a combination of factors, including additional absorption of heat by urban surfaces, effects of urban geometry (i.e. street canyons) on radiation, reduced evapotranspiration due
in transmission of diseases in general. Particularly climatic anomalies have detrimental effects on malaria transmission, especially in highland, highland fringe and semi-arid areas. Until recently, Ethiopia used to experience major malaria epidemics due to the global warming or climatic changes
