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

FCDO*-funded Met Office report provides up-to-date analysis of climate trends, projections and impacts for Ukraine

Ahead of the COP26 negotiations, which were hosted by the UK in November 2021, the British Embassy in Ukraine requested the Met Office to conduct a study on climate change impacts in Ukraine.  The 11 month project, from April 2021 to February 2022, aimed to provide the British Embassy Kyiv

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

Wales: climate Wales is a mainly mountainous country with much of the land being over 150 metres. In the north, Snowdon is the highest mountain in England and Wales, at 1085 metres, and in the south the Brecon Beacons rise to 885 metres. The rivers drain radially from the upland areas, the Severn

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
