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

Global observations of surface and upper air temperature and humidity, surface pressure and precipitation are used to provide advice on global climate variability and change.

Temperature, precipitation and humidity and their extremes can have a major impact on our lives. Observational datasets are used to monitor land and atmospheric climate variables, to understand how the climate has changed over time and to examine the occurrence of extremes in temperature and heat

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

Projects in Africa Why Africa needs improved climate information Rapid population growth and development in Sub-Saharan Africa are increasing the region’s vulnerability to climate variability and change. Weather extremes have the capacity to impact on people’s lives, threatening infrastructure
