July 2019 - This Research News article provides details of a new Met Office briefing note on how lags in our climate system lead to committed warming under a range of emissions scenarios.

The climate system responds to human influences on a range of different time-scales. Changes in the net amount of the sun’s energy absorbed by the Earth, known as the ‘radiative forcing’, happen quickly in response to emissions of greenhouse gases. For many other climate metrics there is a slower

The Met Office Climate Services Week 2022 is taking place from 9-13 May. The inaugural event was held in 2017.

Why are we hosting Climate Services Week? We want to celebrate the great progress our climate services and science communities have made during recent years in understanding decision-making requirements and turning the science into useable and useful tools and information. This is helping people

The UK Climate Projections (UKCP18) provides a comprehensive set of climate model projections for the UK, showing how the climate is likely to change in the future.

We recently revised our UK Climate Projections (UKCP18) webpages. This includes an updated UKCP18 guidance and reports page, as well as various changes to other pages. You can find links to other UKCP18 pages at the bottom of this page. Please contact us if you can't find what you need.  What

The UK climate is monitored by analysing surface observations and placing recent extreme weather events in their historical context.

The National Climate Information Centre (NCIC) generates climate information and statistics using UK surface observations. Techniques are developed to generate long data series for the UK and its regions and to present data, e.g. as maps. Many of the outputs are made available on our UK climate
