This April, the UK experienced a range of weather conditions and while no new records were set, we take a look at how this April compares to years gone by

As we head towards the end of the month, we can use Met Office data to compare how the weather experienced in April 2025 so far compares to years gone by, and which years hold the records for certain extremes. Temperature Extremes In April 2025 so far, the highest daily maximum temperature

.  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

Consultancy and services for a changing climate.

Natural variations in the climate and longer-term changes due to human activities are increasingly affecting us and the environment we live in, such as the availability of fresh water, food security, our health, and social and economic infrastructures. Tackling these issues to ensure that society

Investigating the impacts of climate change and variability on Earth and human systems; including water resources, agriculture, ecosystems, health and energy.

A key activity of the group is the development and application of impacts models that simulate a number of terrestrial processes interactively. Using the output from these models, in addition to more complex Earth System Models, the group addresses the increasing requirements for more detailed climate impact information that is necessary to underpin both adaptation planning and mitigation advice.

Key Aims  Dynamical drivers of regional seasonal to decadal climate variability.  Regional climate prediction using initialised climate models.  Evaluating the current risk of unprecedented extreme events.  Developing tools for dynamical diagnoses.
