Extreme weather is expected to increase with a changing climate. Not least in Ethiopia, where floods and landslides are a major concern. As an important step in climate adaptation, a new approach for flood warnings is being tested during this year's rainy season, from June to September.

SMHI, the Strategic Research Areas MERGE and BECC, and the Bolin Centre for Climate Research hosted the 2nd Swedish Climate Symposium on 15–17 May 2024 in Norrköping, Sweden.

A big thank you to all who attended the conference, presented their research, chaired sessions and who helped us make it a success!

SMHI has many years of experience of emission calculations which can provide a good basis for decisions regarding the dimensioning or risk analysis of different types of emissions in the air and water, for example.

SMHI provides daily forecasts to the general public and societal functions and issues warnings when faced with severe weather and water events. SMHI also offers products and services that function as vital support in the decision-making of, for example, Swedish authorities, organisations and municipalities.

Make forecasts of oil spill with hourly resolution and also track the discharge source.

The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) is home to Sweden’s leading consultancy group in air quality. We have over 30 years of experience working both nationally and internationally with atmospheric dispersion modeling and emission inventories.

Prepare for thunderstorms, strong winds and snow with SMS and email alerts, web services, and consultation.

Open access to SMHI's data is a prerequisite to progress for both research and development of new products and services.
