Abstract Purpose Eastern Africa has a complex hydroclimate and socio-economic context,
making it vulnerable to climate change-induced hydrological extremes. This review presents …

Subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) precipitation forecasts can fill the gap between weather and
seasonal forecasts. While raw forecasts from S2S models are informative, calibration is …

The Greater Horn of Africa is prone to extreme climatic conditions, thus, making climate
services increasingly important in supporting decision-making processes across a range of …

A significant proportion of the population in Sub-Saharan Africa are vulnerable to extreme
climatic conditions, hence there is a high demand for climate information. In response to this …

Numerical‐model‐based forecasts of precipitation exhibit poor skill over northern tropical
Africa when compared with climatology‐based forecasts and with other tropical regions …

Africa is poised for a revolution in the quality and relevance of weather predictions, with
potential for great benefits in terms of human and economic security. This revolution will be …

The first dekad of January 2020 was characterised by heavy precipitation in the capital of the
Republic of Congo, Brazzaville, which led to several localised landslides. Satellite-derived …

The skill of precipitation forecasts from global prediction systems has a strong regional and
seasonal dependence. Quantifying the skill of models for different regions and time scales is …

In semi‐arid environments, rainfall‐driven soil moisture fluctuations exert a strong influence
on surface turbulent fluxes. Intraseasonal rainfall variability can therefore impact low‐level …

Abstract Precipitation across East Africa shows marked interannual variability. Seasonal
forecast skill for the OND short rains is significantly higher than for the MAM long rains …
