• Maps of climate projections over land

  You can view maps below for the four UK nations, as well as different region and various river basins. Please note maps are unavailable for the UK, which is the default option. Once you’ve selected a region, you can select your desired climate variable, period and time slice.   You can also create

• Enhancing National Climate Services (ENACTS)

  The ENACTS initiative is led by the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI).

  The ENACTS initiative is implemented by National Meteorological and Hydrological Services and Regional Climate Centres in Africa with the support of the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) and other partners. It is designed to transform local, national and regional

• High resolution global climate modelling

  The High Resolution Global Climate Modelling group both develops and analyses a hierarchy of model resolutions (ranging from 130km to 25km in the atmosphere, and 1 degree to ¼ degree in the ocean) based on the Met Office climate prediction model: HadGEM3 family configuration of the Unified Model

• Research into the causes of changes in climate systems

  Causes of changes to different aspects of the climate system are attributed to human and/or natural influences.

  Observations contain information about how climate has varied. Climate models provide the facility to investigate the impact of different influences on climate, including both anthropogenic and natural factors, and to determine the level of variability that would still exist in the climate system

• Weather and Climate Information Services (WISER)

  The WISER programme has been delivering transformational change in the quality, accessibility and use of weather and climate information services at all levels to support sustainable development since 2015.

• Met Office UK climate series

  Details of the climate series maintained by the Met Office National Climate Information Centre

  Met Office UK Climate series Access the data Update March 2023: The UK climate series have been updated and are now derived from v1.2.0.0 of the HadUK-Grid dataset. This update has included a second version of digitized Rainfall Rescue data, and an extension of the sunshine series back to 1910

• UK National Climate Science Partnership

  The UK’s leading climate science organisations are joining forces to develop a new national alliance focused on climate solutions for society.

  Aim of the partnership:  Investment in science and computing has made the UK a world leader in climate change research, but as we see from recent extreme weather events worldwide, understanding and predicting climate change is not enough. To respond to the threats posed by a rapidly changing

• East Africa climate risk report

  Climate risk report for the East Africa region

  The climate risk report for the East Africa region is part of a series of regional climate risk reports the Met Office has produced in collaboration with ODI and commissioned by FCDO to provide evidence to the UK Government in support of adaptation and resilience planning and investments

• The influence of climate change on severe weather

  and intensity of heatwaves have increased worldwide. A number of major heatwaves in the UK have occurred in the past 5 years (2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022), each seeing new temperature records set. Notably the England record has been set three times over. Numerous climate attribution studies have shown
