• Humidity – the second pillar of climate change

  Climate change isn’t just affecting global temperature, it’s also changing the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere with potentially significant impacts, finds a new study looking at global humidity.

  Kate Willett is a Met Office scientist and author of a new study looking at global humidity – the amount of water vapour held in the atmosphere as a gas. She said: “Think of climate change and people immediately think of rising temperatures. This isn’t wrong, but it misses a key fact that climate

• Seasonal forecasts and climate drivers resources

  Learn about the climate drivers that influence seasonal forecasts and the impacts they can have on UK and global weather.

  Seasonal forecasts are shaped by aspects of the global weather and climate system many of which are predictable. These are known as climate drivers, examples include tropical sea-surface temperatures and pressure patterns over the North Atlantic. While these drivers help us understand what may

• Central Africa climate risk report

• 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
