• UK National Climate Science Partnership

  The UK’s leading climate science organisations are joining forces to develop a new national alliance focused on climate solutions for society.

  Aim of the partnership:  Investment in science and computing has made the UK a world leader in climate change research, but as we see from recent extreme weather events worldwide, understanding and predicting climate change is not enough. To respond to the threats posed by a rapidly changing

• Dashboard highlights urgency of climate action

  A Met Office Hadley Centre dashboard monitoring key indicators of global climate is providing an authoritative way to stay up to date with the current state of the climate.

  The  Climate Dashboard  – compiled by Met Office scientists – will help decision makers, including those at COP 26, to view how indicators of climate change, such as global temperature, ocean heat content, sea level rise, sea ice extent and atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations are shifting

• Sharing our weather and climate expertise

  We are a world authority on weather and climate science.

  Weather and climate stories are rarely out of the headlines, meaning that the views of our media-trained experts are frequently sought by media and others around the world. Covering so many topics affecting the world’s weather and climate means we have a lot to talk about. How you can follow us

• Seasonal Climate Outlooks user guide

  The aim of the product is to provide seasonal climate information, reviewing the last 3 months and looking forward 3-6 months, so that readers are informed of the climate variability affecting various countries.   The skill of long-range outlooks varies with the time of year and with location, due

• 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 Climate Resilience Programme infographics

  The UK Climate Resilience Programme ran from 2019 to 2023. As part of our role in co-leading the programme, we produced various infographics to help communicate its outputs.

• Central Africa climate risk report

  Climate risk report for the Central Africa region

  The climate risk report for the Central 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

• 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

• Met Office UK climate series

  Details of the climate series maintained by the Met Office National Climate Information Centre

  Met Office UK Climate series Access the data Update March 2023: The UK climate series have been updated and are now derived from v1.2.0.0 of the HadUK-Grid dataset. This update has included a second version of digitized Rainfall Rescue data, and an extension of the sunshine series back to 1910

• 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
