Convection-permitting models for managing hydrological extremes: practical, innovative examples
- Contribution by:Dale, M., Shelton, K.

Convection rainfall is a major driver of hydrological extremes. This article highlights the value of convection‑permitting modelling (CPM) for managing flood risk and urban pollution from sewer systems. It presents CPM applications for flash‑flood guidance in Sierra Leone and for a UK rainfall‑perturbation tool helping water companies plan for future conditions. Both examples emphasise co‑design with end users.
