Eastern Africa exhibits bimodal rainfall consisting of long rains (March–May) and short rains
(October–December), changes in which have profound socioeconomic and environmental …

Approximately 10 years ago, convection‐permitting regional climate models (CPRCMs)
emerged as a promising computationally affordable tool to produce fine resolution (1–4 km) …

Climate projections at very high resolution (kilometre-scale grid spacing) are becoming
affordable. These 'convection-permitting'models (CPMs), commonly used for weather …

Globally, thunderstorms are responsible for a significant fraction of rainfall, and in the mid-
latitudes often produce extreme weather, including large hail, tornadoes and damaging …

Pan-Africa convection-permitting regional climate model simulations have been performed
to study the impact of high resolution and the explicit representation of atmospheric moist …

Thunderstorms are the most common source of hazardous weather at local scales, but are
poorly represented in conventional climate models, resulting in high uncertainty in future …

Lightning climate change projections show large uncertainties caused by limited empirical
knowledge and strong assumptions inherent to coarse-grid climate modeling. This study …

There is little consensus among global climate models (CGMs) regarding the response of
lightning flash rates to past and future climate change, largely due to graupel not being …

Lightning activity has been predicted to increase with global warming, though estimates of
lightning sensitivity to a change of temperature vary widely. Since lightning is a small‐scale …
