How is the climate changing, and what can be done to reduce the risks to society? Around twenty participants from countries in southern Africa have now completed the international training programme “Climate Change - Mitigation and Adaption” a capacity building initiative funded by  Sida, with …

The surface water (0–10 m) had cooled down by 3–4 degrees since September and the temperature was now 12–13°C, which is normal for the month. The salinity in the surface water in the Baltic Proper was still above normal for the season and varied between 7-8 psu. In the Skagerrak and the Kattegat, …

The European Geosciences Union has awarded Berit Arheimer, Head of Hydrological Research at SMHI, the 2021 Henry Darcy Medal for her outstanding contributions within hydrological research.

A study examining heat in urban environments has shown that good physical planning reduces the urban heat island effect, making it easier to deal with heatwaves. Knowledge from research on heat in cities from the Hazard Support project has now been compiled at smhi.se.

A changed climate with more extreme weather involves a heightened risk of natural hazards if society is not prepared for the new conditions. How do municipalities and other stakeholders use new research in their planning? SMHI and SEI have examined how research can be designed to meet users’ needs.
