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
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
There are six sets of climate data that comprise the projections. These are described in more detail below covering what has been generated, how it has been done and how it might be useful to your applications.
climate model used in UKCP09 and benefit from a range of model improvements.. Marine Projections UKCP18 provides new projections of time mean sea-level rise and extreme water levels for the UK coastline. Observations UKCP18 includes a comprehensive set of observations of weather and climate covering the UK, with some the records extending back more than 150 years. Examining observations enables us to place the model simulated climate into context.
Analysing climate change and its impacts in the urban environment.
Urbanisation results in significant modification of local climates, the most apparent expression of this being the urban heat island. The global urban population now exceeds the rural population, and the urban population may exceed six billion by the 2050s. Therefore, society and our urban
Limiting climate change
What is climate change mitigation? Mitigation describes efforts to reduce or remove emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) which are causing our planet to warm. If we significantly reduce or stop greenhouse gas emissions, can we halt climate change? Our climate
such as the wettest February on record in 2020 or the record-breaking rainfall seen on 3 October 2020, are expected to become more frequent by 2100 due to climate change. Future climate change is projected to bring about a change in the intensity and seasonality of extreme weather, with more heavy rainfall
There is overwhelming evidence that climate change is affecting the health of the planet and the wellbeing of billions of people around the world. The impacts are affecting the lives and livelihoods of many, sometimes on a daily basis. Despite the evidence and public concern about climate change
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
The Hunger and Climate Vulnerability Index aims to paint a regional picture of how much climate change may affect life across the planet
Experts from the World Food Programme (WFP) have worked closely with our climate scientists to devise a measurement of vulnerability to climate change. Taking its definition from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), 'vulnerability' describes the relative degrees of climate stress
