Annual and Seasonal Rainfall Variability in Mozambique During the Nineteenth Century
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.This paper presents the first annually and seasonally resolved reconstructions of nineteenth‐century rainfall variability for Mozambique derived from the analysis of extensive documentary evidence. It reveals spatially heterogeneous rainfall patterns with recurrent multi‐year droughts, episodic extreme wet events, and a strong coherence between ...

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Four decades of UTCI data show increasing thermal stress along Ghana's coastal‐urban corridor, with very strong heat‐stress days rising by about 1.4 days/year. Random Forest–SHAP analysis with temporal validation identified AOD as the strongest model‐based predictor of monthly UTCI variability, followed by TSA, WHWP, and AMO.

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.The changes in joint return period of compound meteorological hot‐dry (CMHHE) and hot‐wet (CMHWE) and compound hydrological hot‐dry (CHHDE) and hot‐wet (CHHWE) extremes were attributed to changes in associated univariate extremes and their dependence.

The Sensitivity of Satellite Solar‐Induced Chlorophyll Fluorescence to Meteorological Drought
Earth's Future, 2019 Solar‐induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) could provide information on plant physiological response to water stress (e.g., drought). There are growing interests to study the effect of drought on SIF. However, to what extent SIF responds to drought and

ENSO or the Atlantic: Which Actually Governs the Hydrological Vulnerability of the Caatinga?
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.This study challenges the traditional ENSO‐centric paradigm of rainfall variability in the Caatinga by demonstrating that the Tropical Atlantic exerts a statistically dominant influence on regional hydrological vulnerability. Using a seasonal ARX/HAC model and CHIRPS data, we establish a new hierarchy of climatic drivers across six rainfall districts ...

Constructing a pan-European database of past meteorological drought events
, 2014 Drought is a complex climate-related phenomenon that may cause relevant economic, social, and environmental impacts. We distinguish between meteorological, agricultural, hydrological, groundwater, and socio-economic drought.

Perception of, and adjustment to, drought hazard by farmers in southern SRI Lanka [PDF]
, 1991 In Sri Lanka, two thirds of the land mass lies within the Dry Zone where agriculture is the most important economic activity. In this climatic zone, rainfall is highly uncertain, seasonal, and limited to a few months.

Sensitivity of Consecutive‐Dry‐Day Trends to Trace Loss in Matched Precipitation Archives
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Loss of trace precipitation information can turn valid dry days into missing observations that interrupt consecutive dry day (CDD) spells. Simulating this loss reduced the median cross‐archive CDD trend discrepancy by 88% across 205 matched Spanish station pairs; a separate global experiment converting documented traces to missing observations changed ...
