  Midlands: climate The Midlands area includes the Cotswold Hills to the south, the Northamptonshire uplands to the east, the Peak District to the north and is bounded by the Welsh border to the west. It includes the Severn and Avon valleys, with their rivers flowing to the south, and the valley

• Food insecurity and climate change

  Find out how climate action could shape future vulnerability to food insecurity using a new interactive website

  Experts from the World Food Programme have worked in collaboration with Met Office climate scientists to devise a measurement of food vulnerability to climate change. The Food Insecurity and Climate Change index is a measure of how vulnerable to disruption a country's food security system

• Infrastructure – weather and climate insights

  We can help you apply weather and climate insights to make better decisions, improve resilience and increase efficiencies across the infrastructure asset’s lifecycle.

  and climate science. Guiding climate action, health and safety, and the future resilience of UK infrastructure. Insight to assess financial viability – supporting initial scoping of infrastructure projects, with design options and site selection process, can enable strategic planners to develop detailed

• MENA climate risk report

  Climate risk report for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region

  The climate risk report for the MENA region is part of a series of regional climate risk reports the Met Office has produced in collaboration with ODI and commissioned by FCDO to provide evidence to the UK Government in support of adaptation and resilience planning and investments. The Climate Risk

• Climate monitoring of the land and atmosphere

  Global observations of surface and upper air temperature and humidity, surface pressure and precipitation are used to provide advice on global climate variability and change.

  Temperature, precipitation and humidity and their extremes can have a major impact on our lives. Observational datasets are used to monitor land and atmospheric climate variables, to understand how the climate has changed over time and to examine the occurrence of extremes in temperature and heat

• Climate monitoring with a UK focus

  The UK climate is monitored by analysing surface observations and placing recent extreme weather events in their historical context.

  The National Climate Information Centre (NCIC) generates climate information and statistics using UK surface observations. Techniques are developed to generate long data series for the UK and its regions and to present data, e.g. as maps. Many of the outputs are made available on our UK climate

• Sea ice in the climate system

  Arctic sea ice is a sensitive indicator of climate change and changes to the sea ice cover can have potential implications for the Arctic region and beyond.

  Found in both the Arctic and Antarctic, sea ice regulates heat exchange between the ocean and atmosphere, supports polar ecosystems, and serves as a sensitive indicator of climate change. Sea ice forms in high-latitude regions where winter darkness and cold temperatures allow the ocean to freeze

• Human dynamics of climate change

  The Human dynamics of climate change poster studies the impacts of climate change in the context of present-day human dynamics

  The impacts of climate change will not be experienced in isolation, but will affect humans in the context of the way we live. The 'Human dynamics of climate change' poster aims to illustrate some of the impacts of climate and population change in the context of a globalised world. You can download
