• Climate Ambassador scheme

  The Climate Ambassador Scheme will link nurseries, schools and colleges across England with free access to local experts who can provide tailored advice and guidance to help them develop their own climate plans.

  30,000 education settings across England. A key aim of the extended programme, as part of the Department for Education's Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy, is for all education settings to have a climate action plan and a sustainability lead in place by the end of 2025.  To support

• Weather and climate consulting

  Find out about how we can help you manage the risks and realise the opportunities associated with day-to-day weather, extreme events and future climate conditions.

  The impact of extreme weather events are identified by global industry leaders as one of the most significant risks to their businesses (World Economic Forum – 2025 Global Risk Report). Our consultants work with you to understand how these weather and climate impacts affect your business

• The future of climate modelling

  Climate modelling at the Met Office

  As faster supercomputers with more processing power are developed, harnessing this power and speed for the benefit of improving climate projections is the dream of climate scientists. The reality is there will never be enough speed or capability to infinitely improve climate models in all aspects

• Seasonal Climate Outlooks

  What is the Seasonal Climate Outlook? Following the El Nino event in 2015, the Met Office worked with the UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the University of Reading to design a new service which would provide insights into the upcoming season and enable more

• Understanding climate change

  Quantifying and reducing uncertainty in climate change, through understanding and improving the representation of key processes.

  This area of research involves the design, building, evaluation and improvement of climate models informed by knowledge of the mechanisms of past, present and future climates. The scientific focus is on gaining understanding and improving the representation of key processes that are critical for climate variability and change on global and regional scales.

• Impacts of climate variability

  Description of research and applications of the impacts of climate variability on monthly to seasonal timescales.

  Predictions and climate model output often refer to large-scale phenomena (e.g. ENSO, NAO) or give information on large-area averages. The variables for which predictions are made are most often meteorological (e.g. temperature, rainfall). Users' needs are typically related to their economic

• Climate, cryosphere and oceans

  Improving our understanding of the role of the oceans and the cryosphere (ice) in the climate system.

  Changes in sea ice and land ice have important climate feedbacks, through albedo and ocean circulation. The melt of land ice results in sea level rise. Sea ice cover seasonally insulates the atmosphere from the ocean preventing the exchange of heat and gases. The formation of sea ice during winter

• Climate sensitivity and feedbacks

  Understanding and quantifying the most important feedback processes operating in the climate system.

  An important aspect of this work is to use both models and observations to try to establish links between physical processes operating in past, present and future climates. This involves the development and refinement of diagnostics and metrics for assessing model performance, and for isolating
