Water & river basins
Examine rainfall, drought, climate variability and future change in the geographic context of catchments and water systems.
Sectoral Users
Climate context for the systems people rely on.
CLDB helps TMD connect climate evidence with the needs of water, agriculture, infrastructure, health, energy and resilience planning.
Who it can support
One climate evidence base, many sector questions.
CLDB provides a common starting point. Sector knowledge and local context remain essential when interpreting and applying the information.
Agriculture & food
Understand seasonal conditions, heat and rainfall patterns that can shape crop calendars, water demand and climate risk.
Urban planning & infrastructure
Use extremes, trends and projections to support climate-aware planning, design conversations and resilience assessment.
Public health
Explore heat, rainfall and seasonal climate conditions that may influence health preparedness and public communication.
Energy
Put temperature, rainfall, wind and seasonal outlooks into context for demand, operations and climate-sensitive assets.
Disaster risk & resilience
Combine historical extremes, current monitoring and outlook information to strengthen preparedness discussions.
A practical pathway
From sector question to climate context.
Begin with the decision and the time horizon. A near-term operational question may need recent observations or S2S guidance; a strategic planning question may require historical trends and CMIP6 projections.
CLDB helps users find the relevant climate layer and geographic scale, compare evidence and communicate what the information does—and does not—say.
Frame
Define the sector decision, place and timescale.
Explore
Choose the observation, prediction or projection.
Interpret
Review the signal, context and uncertainty.
Apply
Combine climate evidence with sector expertise.
Explore by place and timescale
