to the west creates an environment that is frequently cool, dull and wet. However, the Pennines can cause the cloud to break up downwind, meaning warmer days but cooler nights. If low winter temperatures coincide with high winter precipitation, heavy winter snowfall may occur across Kirklees. Snowfall

decades. • Over land the projected general trends of climate changes in the 21 st century are similar to UKCP09, with a move towards warmer, wetter winters and hotter, drier summers. However, natural variations mean that some cold winters, some dry winters, some cool summers and some wet summers

Ukraine already experiencing water stress and reductions in annual rainfall totals are seeing increases in the frequency of prolonged heatwaves with an expanding summer season and reductions in the dominant wet season rainfall totals, and reductions in groundwater recharge 6,12,69 . While seasonal

varieties. Increased risk of harvest failure due to increasing risk from drought and extreme heat each year. Shortening of growing season for key crops (e.g. cereals and vegetables) planted in October/November and harvested between June and August. Off-season crops - typically summer vegetables - planted

need to put it into context by casting our minds back to winter; a season traditionally regarded as a recharge period for the UK’s water supplies. UK rainfall over winter was down compared with average, with only 83% of average rainfall being recorded for the UK. This relative shortfall in a key period

of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This occurs because La Niña cools the ocean temperature and modifies tropical weather patterns, making many land regions wetter and allowing plants to grow better and absorb more CO2.  2016 saw a record rise due to a near-record El Niño event in addition to high

of a particular place is often described in seasonal periods (e.g. summer/ winter or rainy/ dry season) over the cycle of the year.   The climate can also naturally vary between different years due to the process of Earth system cycles, especially those associated with large circulations of the oceans

As an outdoor venue with large grassed areas and uneven terrain, wet weather could lead to muddy or waterlogged patches. Waterproof footwear and layered clothing are highly recommended. Is the dry

the SSP5-RCP8.5 scenario (Gutiérrez et al., 2021; Figure 2). In general, decreases in precipitation and increases in temperature and evaporation are expected to intensify drought severity and duration over the region. Wet season rain storms are also projected to become more intense, as a warmer
