Find out how climate action could shape future vulnerability to food insecurity using a new interactive website
Experts from the World Food Programme have worked in collaboration with Met Office climate scientists to devise a measurement of food vulnerability to climate change. The Food Insecurity and Climate Change index is a measure of how vulnerable to disruption a country's food security system
, calculate the global surface temperature each month, and each year too. Global surface temperature records are needed to give us the big picture about how our climate is changing. Explain that they are going to have a look at real-life data to learn more about climate change 20 minutes Groupwork
Climate science involves the development of climate datasets based on observations; the use of these datasets in climate change monitoring and attribution and the use of Earth System Models to make future predictions from months to centuries into the future. Most recent Hadley Centre Technical

The UK Climate Resilience Programme (UKCR) ran from 2019 to 2023. It brought together multi-disciplinary climate research and expertise to ensure the UK is resilient to climate variability and change.
Under the Strategic Priorities Fund, the UK Climate Resilience Programme was led by the Met Office and Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), in partnership with the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), the Department
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.
Please note our UK Climate Projections (UKCP18) webpages were revised in August 2025. This includes an updated UKCP18 Guidance page as well as various changes to other pages. You can find links to other UKCP18 pages at the bottom of this landing page. Do contact us if you can't find what you need
How are the countries selected for the Climate Outlook? The selection of regions and countries for the Climate Outlooks are based on the specification provided by the UK Government's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), as the primary user and stakeholder of this service. Whilst
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
