• 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

  Northern Ireland: climate Northern Ireland consists of the six counties of Antrim, Armagh, Londonderry, Down, Fermanagh and Tyrone. These encompass a variety of topographical features. The inland basin centred on Lough Neagh (the largest lake in the UK, with an area of 385 sq km) is surrounded

• Climate change impacting the natural world

  world Author: Press Office 17 Jul 2025 Climate changes are affecting the timings of natural processes with many key biological events in the UK - such as leaf out and flowering - now taking place earlier (and some autumn events also later) in the year when compared with historical records. The latest

• 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

• 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

• Research into the causes of changes in climate systems

  Causes of changes to different aspects of the climate system are attributed to human and/or natural influences.

  Observations contain information about how climate has varied. Climate models provide the facility to investigate the impact of different influences on climate, including both anthropogenic and natural factors, and to determine the level of variability that would still exist in the climate system
