• The influence of climate change on severe weather

  of heatwaves have increased worldwide. A number of major heatwaves in the UK have occurred in the past 5 years (2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022), each seeing new temperature records set. Notably the England record has been set three times over. Numerous climate attribution studies have shown that human

• 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

• 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

• 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
