years. The centre of action lies in the tropical Pacific, but the impacts are felt worldwide - even in geographically remote regions, such as Europe. Sarah works on better understanding the interactions between the ocean and the atmosphere that give rise to ENSO and assesses the representation of ENSO

. “A frontal system is expected to move in from the west and displace the high pressure lying across the UK. This will spread rain across all areas during the latter part of Easter Sunday and through Easter Monday, although there is some uncertainty regarding its exact timing. Once the rain clears blustery

tonight and the hills and mountains of Scotland and Northern Ireland could see a few cms of lying snow above 200-300 metres. Widespread icy patches will develop on untreated surfaces first thing Monday morning and could cause a few travel problems.” Whilst the blustery, cold conditions are a contrast

. • L'infrastructure de l'eau et la qualité de l'eau sont menacées par les inondations associées aux fortes pluies et à l'élévation du niveau de la mer. Les zones urbaines et côtières en Mauritanie sont particulièrement préoccupantes. • Les risques liés au climat pour la disponibilité de l'eau, la

des pertes de vies humaines, des pertes de récoltes, la contamination des réserves d'eau et des dommages aux habitations et aux infrastructures. • La déforestation a déjà modifié le régime des eaux locales, et la continuation de la perte de la couverture forestière aggravera les vulnérabilités liées

personal interests and background lie in urban boundary layer meteorology. Career background Sylvia worked in the Mesoscale Modelling group at MetOffice@Reading based at the University of Reading, Department of Meteorology on representing urban processes in high-resolution versions of the Unified

will decrease. We’ll still have cold days, but features like lying snow will become an increasing rarity, especially in southern England. “Between 1991 and 2019 a wide swathe of southern England could expect maximum temperatures on the coldest winter day to be on average between 0.0 °C and 2.0 °C. However

on the 26th, and cold and unsettled weather continued during the last few days with lying snow penetrating to low levels in some counties. The provisional UK mean temperature was 4.3 °C, which is 0.5 °C above the 1981-2010 long-term average. Mean maximum temperatures were about 0.5 °C below average

the south or southwest. If this solution proves to be correct, we could see an area of warmer and moisture-laden air ‘bumping’ into the cold air further north. Along the boundary of the two air masses lies a zone across southern and central Britain where snowfall could develop fairly widely. “Snow

(that lie between traditional large eddy simulation and NWP scales, the so-called 'gray zone'), to ensure accurate predictions on the grid scale. Paul is also carrying out research with colleagues from the University of Exeter.  One project is looking at the coupling of slow-fast dynamics, in particular
