A packed agenda for the last #GHACOF during the HyCRISTAL project. #ClimateChange was added to GHACOF during HyCRISTAL and it is now an established part of #GHACOF. Geoffreysabiiti of @icpac_igad Makerere University and HyCRISTAL

Whilst climate chnage is often (wrongly) seen as "the future" in the UK, many I have spoken with in Africa from FCFA HyCRISTAL and AMMA-2050 see it in the here & now - this shows just how true that is

Improving our prediction of and responses to extreme events is important for improved resilience to climate change. GCRF African SWIFT includes Kenya Met Department 🇰🇪 University of Nairobi and @icpac_igad with nowcasting typically addressing forecasts on time-scales of hours

"In Eastern Africa, over 50 million to face acute food insecurity in 2022". Floods, locusts, covid, droughts, war, food prices.... Climate change creates multiple related and unrelated shocks with cascading risks, with tragic consequences.

In recent years development has reduced child deaths from heat in Africa, but increased heat from climate change has cancelled this out

"Sadly, our models show with a high degree of confidence that we are entering the 5th consecutive failed rainy season in the Horn of Africa...we are on the brink of an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe”. #ClimateCrisis

📹 22% of the world’s food insecure people live in the #HornOfAfrica. As the worst drought in over 40yrs is likely to continue, over 50 million people will experience severe hunger this year. A wake-up call for humanitarian development actors, and time to adopt a new approach.

The MJO's role for East African subseasonal rain variability is well known. Here we show it's role for interannual variability & trace this to a newly identified SST gradient FCFA HyCRISTAL Future Climate for Africa (FCFA) GCRF African SWIFT @icpac_igad Kenya Met Department 🇰🇪 rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

HyCRISTAL/IMPALA showed new convection-permitting models give larger increases in extreme rainfall with climate change than standard models.
