Our aim is to be the partner or provider of choice for defence and security related weather and climate capabilities and services.

The weather has an impact on nearly all military activities and has influenced the outcome of conflicts throughout history. Operational performance can be reduced or enhanced by environmental factors which can significantly impact on people, platforms, weapons and sensors. For over 100 years

Supported by: Fund manager: Weather and Climate Information Services (WISER): East Africa 2015-21 The Weather and Climate Information Services (WISER) for Africa programme’s aim was to deliver transformational change in the quality, accessibility and use of weather and climate information services

circulation patterns and the land-sea contrast strongly affect temperature. Locally, land height and land use have an influence on temperature, such as sea breezes and frost hollows. You may want to consider more than one variable together when analysing future climate change for risk assessment and decision

WISER Africa Programme Logframe Time Frame: 2022 - 2026 (last updated 15/12/22) Programme Logic Impact People in Africa, especially the most vulnerable, have improved resilience and countries adaptive capacity to prepare for and respond to the effects of extreme weather, seasonal events and climate

distribution functions (pdfs) and cumulative distribution functions (cdfs) are available as data and graphical plots, for each of five future emissions scenarios. In these, the data are clipped at 1% and 99% probability levels, i.e. climate changes have been capped at the extreme top and bottom

with a warming climate, warmer than normal conditions are likely or very likely across the whole continent. The exception being parts of the Sahel, which may be influenced by increased soil moisture after an active rainy season, as well as increased Harmatten winds.

: Consistent with a warming climate, warmer than normal conditions are likely or very likely across the whole continent. The exception being small parts of the Sahel, which may be influenced by increased Harmattan winds. However, this effect is likely to be very small and of very little impact. 3-Month Outlook
