🌧️🌧️🌧️There's a LOT of rainfall and localised flooding today in the UK. Lizzie Kendon from @bristoluni.bsky.social and @metoffice.gov.uk shows how we're trying to improve prediction of flood risk and help save lives.🌧️🌧️🌧️

A really insightful paper that I implore all researchers that focus on Africa to read but especially 'Global North' researchers. It's a short paper with specific action points at the bottom.

🔓 : #Climate data analysis in policy documents is often limited to average temp and rainfall, & the average of many models, which may underestimate risks, find @ailishcraig.bsky.social et al. @bristoluni.bsky.social in new study on how climate science informs adaptation planning in southern Africa🌍
How is climate science used to inform national-level adaptation planning in southern Africa?
