throughout the climate system and is responsible for a mild climate in the UK. Some studies suggest that the AMOC could have a tipping point, with evidence that the circulation has collapsed into a state of reduced flow in the distant past, from climate records taken from geological and biological

Study shows human induced climate change made the UK’s record-breaking annual temperature around 160 times more likely.

It is now possible to confirm that 2022 was the UK’s hottest year on record, with an average temperature of over 10°C recorded for the first time. Influence of climate change An attribution study conducted by Met Office scientists has shown that what would have been around a 1-in-500 year annual

a range of climate sensitive sectors, efforts to provide routinely updated quality information face many challenges. At the core of any effective climate services are data. Furthermore, ground observational climate records are essential to produce quality data and reliable climate analysis, short-term

, but would not be considered exceptional compared to long-term climate records, less severe than 2018 and very much less severe than the exceptional freezing weather of December 2010. Author: Mike Kendon, Met Office National Climate Information Centre Last updated 19/02/2021

change have an impact on Storm Desmond? Author: Press Office 7 December 2015 The exceptional rainfall in Cumbria over the past few days saw the fall of numerous records and has led many to ask whether it is linked to climate change. The records are based on digitised data going back to the 19th

Éowyn. Met Office Scientist Emily Carlisle said: “This winter has seen a typical mix of UK winter weather conditions, with a mix of wet and windy, but also cold and calm conditions. This has resulted in a season where no significant climate records have been broken, but the statistics do mask two

climate monitoring. READ MORE: How we measure rainfall Measuring temperature Temperature measurement at the Met Office is fundamental to accurate weather forecasts and climate records. Air temperature is measured using platinum resistance thermometers (PRTs), which are highly sensitive and reliable

An international analysis of the global climate for 2016 has been published in the report State of the Climate in 2016, released today by the American Meteorological Society.

It has been widely reported that globally 2016 was one of the two warmest years (along with 2015) in a temperature series stretching back to 1850. However, the report – State of the Climate in 2016 – highlights other key indicators of climate change, such as record high sea-surface temperatures

gridding tool builds climate data records through gridding data points using satellite data to establish missing climate data. This was complemented by training in the use of FACTFIT, a tool allowing users to visualise a downscaled statistical seasonal forecast. These tools are now being used
