processes in the model, satellite derived global ozone, greenhouse gas and aerosol concentration datasets are being compared with model simulations to assess the model uncertainties. For the marine domain the sea surface temperature climate data record (CDR) is being used to define the sea surface

like the observational record. As our climate warms, it is notable quite how variable the number of events becomes year to year. Professor Kendon explains: “The observed rainfall record in the UK is fairly erratic with a large amount of variability, these latest projections show that this is likely

.   As well as causing future impacts, human-induced climate change has already influenced extreme weather in the UK. Research has shown climate change made the 2018 record-breaking UK summer temperatures about 30 times more likely than it would be naturally. Additionally, a separate study found

Human-induced climate change has made the 2018 record-breaking UK summer temperatures about 30 times more likely than it would be naturally, the Met Office will say at CoP24 - in Poland – later today (6 December 2018).

Professor Peter Stott is a world-leading expert on climate attribution based at the Met Office and the University of Exeter in the UK. He said: “Our provisional study compared computer models based on today’s climate with those of the natural climate we would have had without human-induced

The panel of maps below show daily maximum temperatures from 22 to 26 July 2019, indicating the duration and spatial extent of the heatwave. Temperatures exceeded 30 °C widely across much central

Witnessing the highest UK temperature for the months of February, July, and provisionally December, 2019 was a year of multiple records, concluding a record-breaking decade.

The decade 2010-2019 The decade 2010 to 2019 holds eight [note one December record from 2019 is still pending verification] high UK temperature records, compared with only one low-temperature record in the set of official Met Office UK climate extremes. Dr Mark McCarthy, head of the National
