• Research into climate impacts on water resources

  Understanding climate impacts on water resources at both the regional and global scale.

  We use climate models, in conjunction with impact models, to make integrated assessments on the effects of climate change and climate variability on water resources. By including important processes such as glaciers, irrigation and interactions with Food, forestry and ecosystem services, we aim

• 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

• Climate monitoring of the oceans and sea-ice

  Observations of ocean temperature, both at and below the surface; salinity, and sea-ice cover are used to provide advice on global climate variability and change.

  The oceans have a crucial role in the climate system owing to their ability to store and transport heat and to impart moisture and heat to the atmosphere. The temperature of the oceans and the amount of sea-ice are, therefore, important indicators of changes to the climate system. Observations

  Maps of climate projections over land

  You can view maps below for the four UK nations, as well as different region and various river basins. Please note maps are unavailable for the UK, which is the default option. Once you've selected a region, you can select your desired climate variable, period and time slice.   You can also create

• Climate change increases the risk of wildfires

  Rapid Response Review shows human-induced climate change promotes the conditions on which wildfires depend, increasing their likelihood.

  Assessment Report in 2013. All the studies show links between climate change and increased frequency or severity of fire weather - periods with a high fire risk due to a combination of high temperatures, low humidity, low rainfall and often high winds - though some note anomalies in a few regions
