this understanding to design cities that are more resilient and adaptable. The Met Office is providing a new set of probabilistic climate projections for London that are fully consistent with the methodologies adopted by the UK Climate Projections (UKCP09). PROMETHEUS The use of probabilistic climate data

with University College London, the Met Office is examining model forecasts of space weather events and comparing these with observations to characterise model performance. This approach is a very effective way of pinpointing sources of model error, and it is possible to use this information to improve

and the relevance of the Met Office in achieving these missions. As an example of the economic value the Met Office brings, London Economics estimates the Met Office will add £56 billion of value to the UK economy over the next decade – £19 for every £1 of public money invested.

, Brown et al. (2014) estimated a 20-year return level of 35.7°C for summer TXx in London, for 1961-90. Such rare daily events can occur either during short spells of hot weather associated with particular synoptic conditions (e.g. during 2018, McCarthy et al., 2019), or during an extended heatwave
