COASTAL ENGINEERING IN THE CARIBBEAN- The need for Climate Predictions Commonwealth Climate Services Demonstrator Workshop Hyatt Regency, POS, November 2019 by Deborah Villarroel-Lamb Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of the West Indies, St

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

Met Office State of the UK Climate report shows 2016 the 13th warmest year.

, said: “Although 2016 may not be regarded as remarkable for temperature, it does feature within a notable decade for temperature records. The trend towards warmer temperatures is clear, but of course natural variation in our climate will always mean that increases are not always even year on year

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

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

Commonwealth Climate Services demonstrator

  The Commonwealth Climate Services Demonstrator is a trial project that is pulling through existing Met Office capability to have additional benefit to Commonwealth nations. At the Commonwealth Heads of Government (CHOGM) meeting in London in April 2018, the UK universities Minister announced

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
