change will also have an effect on the routine and periodic maintenance of roads (Finnra 2009). In
order to keep the present level of service, there are needs for changes in the maintenance
guidelines. Further development of warning systems for road users and information in trip
planning are important ways to mitigate any negative effects of weather and climate.
Climate change may affect

snowmobiles and others traveling in the mountains avoid known avalanche slopes and do not travel where avalanches can fall. Also, avoid stopping vehicles on parts of the roads where there is a risk of avalanches.
Please keep up to date on weather and travel conditions, see text forecasts and warnings.

to their desirability. These – often value-laden – scenarios are mostly either preferable and optimistic, or disagreeable and
pessimistic. Partly because of the difference in vantage point, the exploratory and normative scenarios have been developed to

Climate change may affect demand of road transport services directly, e.g

the body of knowledge in any given area
by mapping out cause-and-effect relationships among key
variables and encoding them with numbers that represent
the extent to which one variable is likely to affect another
(Jensen, 2002). Factors, associations and probabilities can
be adjusted and validated and BNs are powerful for
integrating data and knowledge from different sources and
domains, e.g

in dam management, or
measures along the course of the river. However,
these options would affect various water users and
other stakeholders downstream of the dam, such as
fisheries, agriculture, and recreation. Prior to the
Dhuenn participatory process, some of these
measures were discussed by the responsible water
association (Wupperverband), but neither the
measures nor their consequences were

Services will bring together providers of climate services, researchers and users to make sure that the information provided by meteorologists and climate scientists is understandable and relevant to climate-sensitive activity. The initial focus will be on improved service delivery for disaster risk reduction, health, water management, agriculture and food security.

Travellers were urged to avoid all watercourses in the affected regions.Most rivers will take days to return to pre-flood conditions, so there is still a reason for cautious travel plans.With the foreword that safety is most important, reporting on these flood events is welcome, either current or afterwards.
