troposphere shifts northwards during break and lies approximately above the lower monsoon trough. This seems to provide an effective process of removing ascending air in the lower monsoon trough causing exceptionally heavy rainfall over Assam and along the foot of the Himalayas. Specifically

lies in transforming mindsets from a purely hydrometeorology science/technologists mindset into a modern business matter that is credible at the public level, and which will take into consideration the whole value chain of the hydrometeorology components and bring to all stakeholders the adapted

shows the approximate 95% confidence range for the HadCRUT4 data (the ‘true’ global average is expected to lie outside this range around only 5% of the time). (Source: Met Office) Year-to-year variations of global mean surface temperature are strongly affected by natural variations in the climate

change on the extent of flood zones by applying the higher central and upper end allowances: this typically does not significantly change the extent of the high probability Zone 3 because this is often topographically-defined – the exceptions are areas with extensive low-lying land such as along

climate models have increased our understanding of key feedbacks and large scale processes in the climate system (e.g. Stainforth et al. (2005)), the real power of very large ensembles lies in the potential to simulate extreme events which, by their definition, are rare. To obtain statistics

. Wang et al., (2018) focus on how the summer NAO (SNAO) may regulate East Asian summer rainfall. Whilst this region may lie at the eastern and northern extremity of the South Asia region, Figure 15 offers an insight into a plausible mechanism that could apply to other regions further west and/or south
