Report warns against impending flooding globally
A report by Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), Germany, has alerted that rainfall changes caused by global warming will increase river flood risks across the globe including Africa.

Will half a degree make a difference? Robust projections of indices of Mean and Extreme Climate in Europe Under 1.5°C, 2°C, and 3°C Global Warming
<p>Based on high-resolution models, we investigate the change in climate extremes and impact-relevant indicators over Europe under different levels of global warming. We specifically assess the robustness

Precipitation, convective clouds, and their connections with tropical cyclone intensity and intensity change
<p>In this paper, satellite-based precipitation, clouds with infrared (IR) brightness temperature (BT), and tropical cyclone (TC) data from 2000 to 2015 are used to explore the relationship between precipitation,

Keeping global warming within 1.5 °C constrains emergence of aridification
<p>Aridity—the ratio of atmospheric water supply (precipitation; P) to demand (potential evapotranspiration; PET)—is projected to decrease (that is, areas will become drier) as a consequence

Inverse relationship between present-day tropical precipitation and its sensitivity to greenhouse warming
Future changes in rainfall have serious impacts on human adaptation to climate change, but quantification of these changes is subject to large uncertainties in climate model projections. To narrow these

Linking models of human behaviour and climate alters projected climate change
<p>Although not considered in climate models, perceived risk stemming from extreme climate events may induce behavioural changes that alter greenhouse gas emissions. Here, we link the C-ROADS climate model

Usability of extended range and seasonal weather forecast in Indian agriculture
<p>Weather plays an important role in agricultural production. It plays a major role before and during the cropping season and if the same is provided well in advance, it results in inspiring the farmers
