of different locations around the UK and globally. We hold original manuscripts dating back to 1860 and have digitised climate records from around 1960 for a wide variety of weather variables to meet your individual business needs. These include the following: • Precipitation • Air temperature

that provides weather and climate information to enable the general public and specialist users (i.e. academia) to research and understand the science and history of meteorology and ensures compliance with the Public Records Act 1958. The Met Office should ensure that the weather story is the same

in developed countries than for countries in the global south. Confidence in climate attribution analysis relies on high quality observational records, climate models’ abilities to simulate a particular type of event, and scientific understanding of how natural variability and climate change may influence

with the previous generation, although they simulate global patterns of climate and climate change with greater fidelity. Despite the recent pause in the global mean surface temperature rise, the upper ranges of TCR and ECS derived from extended observational records, and specifically including

Wales: climate Wales is a mainly mountainous country with much of the land being over 150 metres. In the north, Snowdon is the highest mountain in England and Wales, at 1085 metres, and in the south the Brecon Beacons rise to 885 metres. The rivers drain radially from the upland areas, the Severn

Our climate monitoring and attribution scientists

Nick Rayner Nick leads the Climate Monitoring and Attribution team. She is an expert in the development of observed climate data sets. Dr Peter Stott Peter is a Science Fellow in the attribution of climate change to anthropogenic and natural causes. Dr Chris Atkinson Chris works on the development

The Human dynamics of climate change poster studies the impacts of climate change in the context of present-day human dynamics

The impacts of climate change will not be experienced in isolation, but will affect humans in the context of the way we live. The 'Human dynamics of climate change' poster aims to illustrate some of the impacts of climate and population change in the context of a globalised world. You can download

Global Climate Observing System The Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) is intended to be a long-term, user-driven operational system capable of providing the comprehensive observations required for monitoring the climate syst

GCOS is vital for: detecting and attributing climate change; assessing the impacts of climate variability and change; supporting research toward improved understanding, modelling and prediction of the climate system. It addresses the total climate system including physical, chemical and biological

and Africa leading to the season’s highest temperature of 18.4 °C at Santon Downham (Suffolk) on 24 February. Dr Mark McCarthy is the head of the Met Office National Climate Information Centre. He said: “February 2021 has seen a wide temperature range resulting from the two predominant weather patterns

Copyright 2020 Executive summary Background: UKCP Global (60 km) consisted of 28 realisations of climate variables for 1900-2100 as simulated by 28 coupled ocean-atmosphere climate models. The 28 realisations consisted of 15 variants of the HadGEM3-GC3.05 global climate model (GCM) developed at the Met
