NAO and EA teleconnections shape monthly rainfall patterns in Great Britain
The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and East Atlantic Pattern (EA) affect rainfall in Great Britain. NAO impacts north-western regions in winter, while EA affects southern and central regions. In summer, NAO and EA phases influence wet/dry patterns consistently across the country. Both teleconnections play a significant role in monthly rainfall distribution and volume, impacting water management decisions. Understanding NAO and EA influences improves predictions of future precipitation patterns in Great Britain.
