A look back at the weather and climate in 2020
2020 has been a year of extremes with the wettest February on record, the sunniest spring, a heatwave in the summer and a day in October breaking rainfall records.
With just a few days left to go, 2020 looks likely to be the 3rd or 4th warmest on record depending on how cold the rest of the year turns out to be (full years statistics published 4th January 2021). This makes it clear that the general trend of warming as a consequence of climate change is being

Attributing extreme weather to climate change
This page explains how we study extreme weather events, to see if climate change was a cause. These attribution studies help shape our understanding of climate change and its impacts.
effect climate change had on an event. This might include many variables, like temperature and rainfall. An attribution case study: The European heatwave in 2019 In July 2019, we saw record breaking temperatures across the UK and Western Europe. In Cambridge, we saw a temperature of 38.7°C

How to avoid the impact of climate change
Providing policy-relevant evidence and research on avoiding dangerous climate change and its impacts.
It is critical that mitigation and adaptation policy are underpinned by strong scientific evidence. The Climate Change Mitigation Advice team carries out original underpinning research on aspects of dangerous climate change, including Amazon dieback, the cryosphere, and marine impacts. Our primary

Dashboard highlights urgency of climate action
A Met Office Hadley Centre dashboard monitoring key indicators of global climate is providing an authoritative way to stay up to date with the current state of the climate.
The Climate Dashboard – compiled by Met Office scientists – will help decision makers, including those at COP 26, to view how indicators of climate change, such as global temperature, ocean heat content, sea level rise, sea ice extent and atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations are shifting

Seasonal forecasts and climate drivers resources
Learn about the climate drivers that influence seasonal forecasts and the impacts they can have on UK and global weather.
Seasonal forecasts are shaped by aspects of the global weather and climate system many of which are predictable. These are known as climate drivers, examples include tropical sea-surface temperatures and pressure patterns over the North Atlantic. While these drivers help us understand what may
