• Up to £1.2billion for weather and climate supercomputer

  The latest supercomputing technology will unleash the full potential of weather and climate data for the UK

  Up to £1.2 billion investment has been confirmed for a state-of-the-art supercomputer to improve severe weather and climate forecasting, Data from the supercomputer will be used to inform Government policy as part of leading the global fight against climate change and meeting net zero emission

• Supercomputing leap in weather and climate forecasting

  Met Office and Microsoft join forces to build world’s most powerful weather and climate forecasting supercomputer in UK

  The Met Office has signed a multimillion-pound agreement with Microsoft for the provision of a world-leading supercomputing capability that will take weather and climate forecasting to the next level and help the UK stay safe and thrive, announced today on Earth Day (22 April). This new

• 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

• 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

• Central Africa climate risk report

  Climate risk report for the Central Africa region

  The climate risk report for the Central 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

• 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

• UK National Climate Crop Capability

  The UK National Climate Crop Capability (UKNCCC) service and an associated community of practice are supporting near and long-term food security resilience to climate change impacts.

  What is the rationale for the service?  We recognise there is an urgent need for a coordinated approach to mitigate the impacts of climate change on UK food security.   The UK agri-food sector, which contributed £153.2 billion (6.2%) to national Gross Value Added in 2023 (Defra, 2025), is being

• UK Climate Resilience Programme infographics

  The UK Climate Resilience Programme ran from 2019 to 2023. As part of our role in co-leading the programme, we produced various infographics to help communicate its outputs.

• The influence of climate change on severe weather

  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 that human
