I’ve just announced I’ll be leading a National Emergency Briefing on 27 November . At a time when climate is in free fall on the political agenda , it’s vital our leaders realise what is at stake if we do not accelerate a just , green transition for all .

Lol. Well I think I missed this in my (less than thorough) editing. Very amusing.

This is a very nice new paper I was involved in. It is a very powerful new method for investigating the thermodynamic effects of climate change on rainfall extremes, with some quite sobering results showing very large increases in intensity.

🌧️🌍💧 Our new paper, led by Geert Lenderink, shows recent European extreme rainfall events have localised climate change responses beyond the expected Clausius-Clapeyron rate – potentially enhancing flash floods in a warmer climate.

Absolutely agree Ali. And we can expect flooding when it breaks down in late May/early June
