READ MOREThis page presents El Salvador''s projected climate. Data is shown as either the projected mean or anomaly (change) and is presented spatially, as a seasonal cycle, time series, or heatplot, which shows seasonal change over long-term time horizons. We offer a range of variables at both national and sub-national aggregations. Data can be analyzed as annual
READ MOREClimate Change Knowledge Portal. Trends in climate — past, present and future — always need to be understood in the context of the naturally occurring variability. Climate variability here, refers to the ways how climate conditions (e.g., temperature and precipitation) "flicker" from year to year within their respective typical "range
READ MOREOnce lush, El Salvador is dangerously close to running dry. The country''s shrinking water supply is in jeopardy as weak regulation, lagging services, and climate variability fuel a complex crisis
READ MOREThe country is especially vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, such as sea level rise, floods and more frequent and intense extreme weather events. Just last year, storm Julia damaged
READ MOREThis page presents a high-level insight into extreme events and how extreme events differ from mean climate. Extremes are often related to different physical processes than those that govern long-term means. While an average change in precipitation is primarily due to circulation changes, extremes are much more sensitive to the thermodynamic state and

READ MOREClimate Change Knowledge Portal. The systematic warming of the planet is directly causing global mean sea level to rise in two primary ways: (1) mountain glaciers and polar ice sheets are increasingly melting and adding water to the ocean, and (2) the warming of the water in the oceans leads to an expansion and thus increased volume.
