to be crossed almost every year by the end of the century. The event in the present climate has a return time of 3.41 years (best estimate) and is estimated to be about 160 times more likely than in the NAT climate. The likelihood of exceeding the record seen in year 2014 is calculated next

are often asked if they ‘believe’ in climate change. For those at the Met Office Hadley Centre who have studied climate records, the evidence that human activity is changing our climate is overwhelming. ‘Climate change and CO 2 are clearly linked. And, as a major CO 2 producer, humankind

shows Scotland’s ten wettest independent 2-day periods on record. Six of the wettest 10, including four of the wettest five, have occurred in the 21st Century; consistent with increases in rainfall extremes seen in the observational records as the UK’s climate continues to warm.

to the public. Weather observations Records of the global climate are essential for monitoring climate change, but maintaining them requires effective weather observations to be taken all over the world. These observations are also essential for both local and global weather forecasting. While most WMO member

.  Monitoring global mean surface temperature is useful because it is linked to many important climate impacts and it has a long and reliable historical record.  However, Earth’s surface temperature, even its global average, is strongly affected by internal climate variability, and is not necessarily
