UK climate averages
By searching for a location or selecting a climate station on the map above, you can view climate averages for the 30-year period 1991-2020. Climate averages are also available for earlier periods 1981-2010, 1971-2000 and 1961-1990. The averages are available across a range of climate variables
Access airfield climate statistics at 47 UK airports, including occurrence of LVPs, temperature, cloud cover, weather types, visibility and wind.
temperature fell within certain ranges, by month. The sum total of these ranges always equals 100%. Temperatures are useful to pilots when considering fuel loads and icing. Cloud-base Occurence This displays the frequency occurrence, since the record began, that a cloud base (over half cover) fell below
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
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing our society today and in the future. But what can we do about it, and how can you play your part to help reduce the impacts of climate change?
Developing models and techniques to produce regional climate information for climate change impacts and adaptation assessments.
The primary tool used in this work is the regional climate model, a higher resolution limited area version of a global atmospheric model. It simulates high-resolution climate skilfully through its improved resolution of a regional physiography and atmospheric motions. Work is undertaken to assess

Annual publication which provides an up-to-date assessment of the UK climate
- published 25 July 2024 Highlights of the 2023 report The UK’s climate continues to change. Recent decades have been warmer, wetter and sunnier than the 20th Century. 2023 was the second warmest year on record for the UK in the series from 1884, with only 2022 warmer. Six years in the most recent
The evidence is clear: the main cause of climate change is burning fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal. When burnt, fossil fuels release carbon dioxide into the air, causing the planet to heat up.
What causes climate change? The climate on Earth has been changing since it formed 4.5 billion years ago. Until recently, natural factors have been the cause of these changes. Natural influences on the climate include volcanic eruptions, changes in the orbit of the Earth, and shifts in the Earth's
This programme draws together fragmented climate research and expertise to deliver robust, multi-disciplinary climate risk and solutions research ensuring the UK is resilient to climate variability and change.
The UK Climate Resilience programme is led by the Met Office and NERC, and we are working in partnership with the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA
