Hi I’m Chloe, I research Pan-African Heatwave Hazard Forecasting.
@UniRdg_PhD
I am very excited to share with you some of what I’ve been researching for almost a year.
My huge thanks to all those involved, you& #39;re all amazinghttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💖" title="Funkelndes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Funkelndes Herz">

Before turning my attention to Africa, I started my research looking at #heatwaveshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌞" title="Sonne mit Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Sonne mit Gesicht">in the UK.
I was very lucky to be able to collab with one of my former MSc lecturers for thishttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥳" title="Partying face" aria-label="Emoji: Partying face">

Since 1980 the number of days where the UTCI -biometerological index- mean is above the #heatstresshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥵" title="Hot face" aria-label="Emoji: Hot face">threshold has increased for all regions of Africa.

You can access the UTCI data as part of #ERA5-HEAT here, for free: https://doi.org/10.24381/cds.553b7518">https://doi.org/10.24381/...

Currently my research focuses on case studies for the countries of Ugandahttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇺🇬" title="Flagge von Uganda" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Uganda"> East Africa and Ghanahttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇬🇭" title="Flagge von Ghana" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Ghana"> West Sahel Region.

There& #39;s still plenty to dohttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😅" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß">
But I can& #39;t wait to see what else happens in the next 2 years!
