Greater Horn of Africa Climate Outlook Forum assesses coming rainy season
28.5.2014|Vreme
The Greater Horn of Africa Climate Outlook Forum has issued its seasonal outlook for the forthcoming June to August rainy season, factoring in the likely development of an El Nino event which may have significant climatic impacts over parts of Eastern Africa. June to August constitutes an important rainfall season over the northern sector and the western parts of the equatorial sector of the Greater Horn of Africa (GHA) region. The regional consensus climate outlook indicates increased likelihood of near normal to below normal rainfall over most parts of the northern and equatorial sectors except for parts of north western Ethiopia; south-eastern Uganda and much of South Sudan which have increased likelihood of receiving near normal to above normal rainfall. The rest of the region is expected to remain dry as usual at this time of year

CO2 concentrations top 400 parts per million throughout northern hemisphere
26.5.2014|Vreme
For the first time, monthly concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere topped 400 parts per million (ppm) in April throughout the northern hemisphere. This threshold is of symbolic and scientific significance and reinforces evidence that the burning of fossil fuels and other human activities are responsible for the continuing increase in heat-trapping greenhouse gases warming our planet.
All the northern hemisphere monitoring stations forming the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Global Atmosphere Watch network reported record atmospheric CO2 concentrations during the seasonal maximum. This occurs early in the northern hemisphere spring before vegetation growth absorbs CO2.

Floods in Balkans highlight need for resilience programme
21.5.2014|Voda
Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia are assessing the economic cost and human toll of devastating floods caused by some of the heaviest rainfall on record. Meteorological and hydrological services in the region provided accurate and regular advance warnings of the risks from the deluge, thus helping to limit but not avert casualties.
Building on existing cooperation frameworks, the National Meteorological and Hydrological Services of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia plan to form a joint team for a detailed analysis of the disaster. The floods and landslides killed at least 46 people, forced thousands of people from their homes, caused millions of Euros in damage, left vast areas under water, threatened power plants and disrupted water and electricity supplies.

WMO Acts on Storm Surges
21.5.2014|Voda
Storm surges kill more people than winds associated with tropical cyclones and than earthquake-triggered tsunamis and yet they are one of the most underestimated, misunderstood natural hazards.
Nearly all the casualties and the economic losses from both Hurricane Sandy (2013) and Typhoon Haiyan (2013) were due to water and waves rather than wind. These cases are far from unique – at least 2.6 million people have drowned in coastal flooding, particularly caused by storm surges, in the past 200 years.
Rising sea levels as a result of climate change and growing urban populations in coastal cities are likely to worsen the challenges.
