  and Africa leading to the season’s highest temperature of 18.4 °C at Santon Downham (Suffolk) on 24 February. Dr Mark McCarthy is the head of the Met Office National Climate Information Centre. He said: “February 2021 has seen a wide temperature range resulting from the two predominant weather patterns

• 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

• State of the UK Climate 2016

  Met Office State of the UK Climate report shows 2016 the 13th warmest year.

  , said: “Although 2016 may not be regarded as remarkable for temperature, it does feature within a notable decade for temperature records. The trend towards warmer temperatures is clear, but of course natural variation in our climate will always mean that increases are not always even year on year

• The beautiful game in a changing climate

  heavy rainfall events in the UK associated with flooding can be linked to human-caused climate change. Events such as the wettest February on record in 2020, or the record-breaking rainfall seen on 3 October 2020, are expected to become more frequent by 2100 due to climate change.” Why are we talking

This marine heatwave persisted for 298 days, the longest on record for this region, with an average intensity of 2°C (Iskandar et al., 2021). Precipitation has generally increased by around 0.2- 0.5mm/day per decade, although this trend
