  News updates and newsletters for the UK Climate Projections (UKCP18) service

  News updates Newsletters Introducing UK Climate Information - July 2026 On Thursday 9 July 2026 we held an introductory webinar for UK Climate Information (UKCI). This is our new national climate service being developed to support climate adaptation decision-making across the UK.   Based on robust

• Global impacts of climate change - projections

  These maps show the areas of greatest concern for experiencing severe climate-related impacts at 4°C global warming relative to pre-industrial levels (1850-1900).

  These maps show the areas of greatest concern for experiencing severe climate-related impacts at 4° C global warming relative to pre-industrial levels (1850-1900). They highlight those regions where people may be exposed to severe climate-related impacts, and regions where multiple severe impacts

• UK National Climate Crop Capability

  The UK National Climate Crop Capability (UKNCCC) service and an associated community of practice are supporting near and long-term food security resilience to climate change impacts.

  What is the rationale for the service?  We recognise there is an urgent need for a coordinated approach to mitigate the impacts of climate change on UK food security.   The UK agri-food sector, which contributed £153.2 billion (6.2%) to national Gross Value Added in 2023 (Defra, 2025), is being

• Annual to Decadal Climate Update FAQs

  Annual to Decadal Climate Update provides a synthesis of global annual and multi-year computer model predictions (forecasts) covering the next five years.

  of climate prediction. However, it is still unclear just how competently machine learning will predict events that have not yet been seen in the observational record. 8. How can I access the Annual to Decadal forecast data? To access the forecast data, send your request to wmolc-adcp@metoffice.gov.uk. This is raw data in netcdf format provided for research purposes for someone who has experience working with climate data.

• Compounding climate challenges for UK businesses

  While businesses struggle with direct effects on infrastructure and operations, additional threats like wildfires, workforce health problems, and urban heat build-up create complex resilience challenges.  As the UK continues to experience record-breaking temperatures, with June 2025 just having

• Enhancing National Climate Services (ENACTS)

  The ENACTS initiative is led by the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI).

  The ENACTS initiative is implemented by National Meteorological and Hydrological Services and Regional Climate Centres in Africa with the support of the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) and other partners. It is designed to transform local, national and regional

• 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

  The climate risk report for the West Africa region is part of a series of regional climate risk reports the Met Office has produced in collaboration with ODI and commissioned by FCDO to provide evidence to the UK Government in support of adaptation and resilience planning and investments

• 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
