temperature forecast. Professor Adam Scaife is the Met Office head of long-range prediction. He said: “Natural events – such as El Niño-induced warming in the Pacific – influence the climate system, but in the absence of El Niño, this forecast gives a clear picture of the strongest factor causing

. Most studies focus on the impacts of sea-level rise on human and natural coastal systems, however no studies attempt to attribute impacts to relative and extreme sea-level changes. Historical studies, based on in-situ and remote sensing data, highlight the significant influence of non-climate
