Regional climate centres (RCC) across Africa are vital communicators of hydrometeorological early warnings. In our latest climate services study, authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S24…, we show the current status of services provided by the Central African RCC. 🌍🌧️ @african_swift @UKCEHPapers

Final @UK_CEH talk at @GEWEX_WCRP ! @bl_harris showing how the observed vegetation can be used to better predict risk to flash drought. 🛰️🌳🏜️

2-h poster sessions with beer& sake are a #GEWEX-OSC highlight! Great seeing our authors, like @JoshTalib, who published on soil moisture-atmosphere feedbacks in the Tibetan Plateau with us doi.org/10.1007/s00376…. Excited about his new research interests. Good job! @GEWEX_WCRP

@EuniceLoClimate @fadzilnor @UniRdg_Met LEGENDS!!!

You do a PhD for a few years and end up with lifelong friends. @fadzilnor, Ying Ying and I met at @UniRdg_Met a decade ago and here we are, meeting again in Kuala Lumpur 😄

Rising temperatures will have profound consequences on African health in particular an increased in vector-borne diseases. gavi.org/vaccineswork/a…

Although landfall is not expected, #Ialy is passing closer to the coast of Kenya than any previous tropical storm in the historical record whilst on its unusual track northwards.

Congratulations to Professor @SimonDadson, whose team @REACHwater has received a Vice-Chancellor's Award for close collaboration with communities and organisations in Asia and East Africa to improve water security. Learn more: bit.ly/3yoc8Vx

Our paper on running the Liverpool Malaria Model with a convection permitting Met Office Unified Model is out. @MetOffice_Sci @MalariaNoMore @livuninews @LivUni_EnvSci @WHO journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

(5) Finally, as climate and malaria modelling communities make huge advances through increased computational resource and AI, we must not forget to use both community efforts to ensure the best predictions are used to support policy planning and health decision-making.

(4) Hence, when we compare the effect of climate change on malaria we get different results when using parameterised or explicit convection. For model with high sensitivity to temp, temperature changes increase malaria over highlands. Meanwhile in VECTRI, rainfall changes is key;

Published today! 📢🦟🌫️🌍 How does high-resolution atmospheric modelling with a better simulated rainfall impact predictions of present and future malaria? @AndyMorse @RemyHS @BirchCathryn @UKCEHPapers @BritishCouncil journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

@agturnermonsoon Well it's easy to fill the room when all your post-docs rock up!

#monsoon session at #EGU24 going strong... Come along now or after the coffee break for many more talks. #fullhouse

📢 Day 3 of Participatory Integrated Climate Services for Agriculture (PICSA) training The training is supported by AICCRA project. #AICCRAproject #climateservices #climatesmartagriculture

📢 Call for Application: Regional WRF-Hydro Training In collaboration with several European institutions, @icpac_igad and @CGIARAfrica is offering regional WRF-Hydro training as part of the @ConferEU project's capacity-building efforts in #EastAfrica.

Penny Endersby, the Chief Executive of the UK @metoffice, has given a wide-ranging interview to ECMWF, focusing on the use of #AIforecasts, the relationship between ECMWF and our Member States, and #InternationalWomensDay ➡️ ecmwf.int/en/about/media… #IWD2024 @metofficece

📢 JOB OPPORTUNITY We're seeking a part-time Science Engagement Fellow (Energy) to support in delivering our strategic objectives. The successful applicant will build multidisciplinary partnerships, enhance their profile and grow their research impact. jobs.rmets.org/jobs/309234338…

ECMWF has released a much larger dataset to the public than before. It represents #WeatherForecasts at a higher resolution and includes a reduction in some release times. Find out more ➡️ ecmwf.int/en/about/media…

At today's @RMetS #nowcasting meeting, UKCEH's Seonaid Anderson will discuss satellite-based nowcasting advances in Africa. These are enabling forecasters to provide earlier and more reliable warnings about large storms and their impacts rmets.org/event/nowcasti…

Not one but three fantastic lectureships going at @ICASLeeds @PriestleyCentre. Climate science + AI/ML. jobs.leeds.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?r… jobs.leeds.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx?r…
