Partnership (CSSP) Brazil, researchers from the UK and Brazil utilised the data to assess the soil moisture values calculated by aland surface model known as JULES. The researchers found that JULES correctly identified drought events over the Brazilian semiarid region.     “This research highlights

. There were some widespread hard frosts with temperatures falling below -5°C and several stations recording their lowest April temperature for over 40 years. There was also lying snow across much of northern Scotland, with snow depths of several cm as far south as the Peak Districts and some snow
