The latest data confirms 2020 concludes the earth’s warmest 10-year period on record.

nominally the second warmest year in the dataset’s record. Data from a number of climate monitoring centres including the Met Office, NASA and NOAA are compiled by scientists at the Met Office for the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) to create its central annual global mean temperature estimate

A new event summary from the Met Office shows that the UK’s recent extreme heat was far more intense and widespread than previous comparable heatwaves. This was the first time 40°C has been recorded in the UK.

of long term climate records. “What’s particularly notable is how much more widespread the heat was from this event than the previous two occurrences of temperatures in excess of 38°C in the UK. Temperature records tend to get broken by modest amounts and by just a few stations, but the recent heat

We do this in order to capture the state of the atmosphere in and around the environments we all work and live in, both in the here and now and also in terms of the long-term climate record. Met Office observations produced at these stations are underpinned by a rigorous quality management system

The climate guide encompasses a range of areas, from statistical records to computer model projections and climate change. Weather The Met Office provides a wide range of forecasts and warnings to help the public make informed decisions about day to day activities. These include forecasts for more than

Weather observations are critical to our understanding of weather and climate.

There is no doubt our climate is warming,  2022 was the UK’s warmest year since the start of Met Office records in 1884 and the extreme heatwave in July 2022 marked a milestone in our climate history, with 40 °C being recorded for the first time in the UK.  How do we ensure our observations
