value of 15.2˚C equalled the previous record from 2006. This attribution study is supplemented with a qualitative assessment of projected September mean temperature over the UK using the UK Climate Projections (UKCP; Murphy et al., 2018), which provides a guide to expected future changes
), setting a new UK and England temperature record by a margin of 1.6°C, and multiple stations across England also exceeded 40°C. This heatwave marked a milestone in UK climate history, with 40°C being recorded for the first time in the UK. The extent of the heatwave was remarkable with temperatures of 39°C

of Climate Variability and change over Africa by using Machine Learning as a tool for Data Rescue The observational record of weather and climate is severely limited – there are many times and places where we have few or no observations, and these limitations restrict both science and predictions
in Arctic sea ice and a rise in global sea level. These changes are consistent with our understanding of how the climate system responds to increasing atmospheric greenhouse gases. Global mean surface temperatures remain high, with the last decade being the warmest on record. © Crown copyright 2013 3
Climate Science involves the development of observation-based climate datasets; the use of these datasets in climate change monitoring and attribution; and the use of Earth system models to make future long-term predictions.

Categorising the world’s climate into zones helps us understand the conditions in different regions and track how they change.
What are climate zones? Climate zones are areas with distinct climates. These zones might correspond to weather patterns, latitude, or communities of plants and animals. There are many climate classification systems, which define zones based on different climatic factors or combinations of factors
Climate is the general weather over a long period. This can include rainfall, temperature, snow or any other weather condition. We usually define a region’s climate over a period of 30 years.
Earth’s climate system The Earth’s climate system has many components. It includes everything that can affect the weather, such as the atmosphere, clouds, oceans, and the land surface and vegetation. Ice also affects our climate, through glaciers, sea ice or ice sheets on land. Volcanic eruptions
