Urban climate services developed by the UK Climate Resilience Programme that ran from 2019 to 2023

As part of the UK Climate Resilience Programme - Climate Services Pilots project, the Met Office worked with stakeholders and end-users to develop and evaluate a number of pilot urban climate services to ensure the research was useful and useable. City Packs We developed City Packs using the latest

. In addition to the main site, three outlying screens were erected to help record the micro-climate of the area during the Antarctic winter. Further to these base observations, still more were made on the ‘‘sledging’’ journeys away from base to either explore specific geographic areas or when in depots

when: “The colour of the new green leaves is just visible between the scales of the swollen or elongated bud” (https://www. woodlandtrust.org.uk/visiting-woods/natures-calendar/). Phenological records, when combined with climate observations, provide long-term indicators of how plants and animals

Climate Risk Reports

Human activities have unequivocally caused global warming, and this is affecting weather and climate extremes in every region of the world, disproportionately affecting the most vulnerable (IPCC AR6 SYR A1, A2). Action to adapt and prevent climate change cannot wait. Improved understanding

Our climate change scientists

Dr Tim Andrews Tim is a climate scientist working on forcing, feedbacks and heat uptake in the climate system. Dr Alejandro Bodas-Salcedo Alejandro works on developing and assessing the Met Office Hadley Centre's climate models. Dr Rob Chadwick Rob looks at changes in the global water cycle related

Met Office climate science webinars

In 2023 the Met Office ran a series of climate science webinars following on from a number of events ahead of COP27 in 2022.  Below you will find details of these past events including video recordings and written summaries. Details of upcoming events will be added below including registration

The Climate Ambassador Scheme will link nurseries, schools and colleges across England with free access to local experts who can provide tailored advice and guidance to help them develop their own climate plans.

30,000 education settings across England. A key aim of the extended programme, as part of the Department for Education's Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy, is for all education settings to have a climate action plan and a sustainability lead in place by the end of 2025.  To support

As part of the UK Climate Resilience (UKCR) programme, the Met Office has compiled an approach for upscaling climate services. This page introduces climate services providers to this resource.

this means for climate services. We have reviewed existing upscaling literature and resources, and adapted themes and concepts from them to produce an upscaling approach for climate services. We have tested this in three case studies with different services and service providers. A toolkit, to aid

Climate modelling at the Met Office

As faster supercomputers with more processing power are developed, harnessing this power and speed for the benefit of improving climate projections is the dream of climate scientists. The reality is there will never be enough speed or capability to infinitely improve climate models in all aspects
