• Wet and windy weekend for climate conference.

  Northern Scotland will see the strongest winds and heaviest rain, however, Glasgow, where the COP26 climate conference is underway, does not escape the unsettled weather. Bonfire Night It will be mostly dry across the UK as a whole for Friday evening, but cloudier the further north you go. A few

• Transforming climate resilience in tea production

  The Tea-CUP project is changing how climate services are delivered by developing actionable information to address the challenges of climate change within the tea industry, informing adaptation measures and decision-making.

  , and climate change is posing significant challenges to the tea industry in China, the UK and beyond. In the Tea-CUP project (Co-developing Useful Predictions) scientists from the Met Office and China have been working with tea experts and local farmers in Yunnan Province to understand what seasonal

• 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

• 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.

  and Climate Science for Service Partnership between the Met Office and the Indian Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) aspires to reduce the risk of monsoon-related disasters.  The development of weather and climate services is becoming increasingly important in addressing some of the biggest global

• UK climate continues to change in 2021

  over the whole year it might seem rather unremarkable, however it is telling that whereas we consider 2021 as near-average for temperature in the context of the current climate, had this occurred just over three decades ago it would have been one of the UK’s warmest years on record. “Although 1°C

• Increased climate change risk to permafrost

  A new international research study, including climate change experts from the University of Leeds, University of Exeter and the Met Office, reveals that permafrost is more sensitive to the effects of global warming than previously thought. The study, published today in Nature Climate Change
