Powering up the forecasts East Africa has distinct wet and dry seasons, and accurately predicting the onset of its rains is vital for farms and businesses. Yet hydropower is equally reliant on accurate and timely forecasts – as an important climate partnership project recently demonstrated

member of RCM-PPE that gives lower PSS values though). This is consistent with the large (and significant) cold and wet biases seen in the north of the UK in this model in this season (Figures 16 and 18). The nested CPM-MRI reduces the contribution to the total rainfall from days with high rainfall

by the Weather and Climate Science for Services Partnership (WCSSP) programme, supported by the UK Government’s Newton Fund. A CSSP China project has been developing a global dataset of extreme wet bulb temperature (Tw) and air temperature (T) – HadISDH.extremes – that enables us to study the current level

years, however (Fung et al., 2018). Projected changes in future rainfall vary depending on which season you are looking at, with summers likely to become significantly drier while winters become wetter, along with an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme temperature and rainfall events

distribution to air frost. However, those places into which cold air can drain are particularly prone to frost. Examples include Altnaharra (Highland) with an average of 73 air frosts per year. In Northern Scotland the frost-free season is o en as little as 3 months, as shown by the average

to the surface the issues around communicating a ‘deterministic’ forecast. Many extension officers simply communicated that the season would be ‘wet’ and therefore the farmers should invest in crops. One particular group misunderstood the forecast, and farmers interpreted the 40% chance of ‘wet’ as being a 60

? Pollen production is heavily influenced by weather conditions. A warm and wet spring can lead to higher pollen production, while dry and breezy conditions help disperse it into the air. Conversely, a cold winter can delay the start of the pollen season by keeping plants dormant longer. Spring

As festival season kicks into high gear across the UK, revellers can expect a mixed bag of weather conditions, with warm temperatures, sunny spells, and the ever-present risk of showers. Here's the latest forecast for some of the major events taking place this week. Glastonbury Festival, Worthy

will continue to be a feature of the forecast until the end of the week. By the end of the weekend there is a signal that we may see a shift in type away from the Arctic-dominated conditions with milder and wetter weather coming in from the Atlantic. This transition could bring the risk of significant
