Copyright 2020 Executive summary Background: UKCP Global (60 km) consisted of 28 realisations of climate variables for 1900-2100 as simulated by 28 coupled ocean-atmosphere climate models. The 28 realisations consisted of 15 variants of the HadGEM3-GC3.05 global climate model (GCM) developed at the Met

Office attribution studies have shown that some recent heavy rainfall events in the UK associated with flooding can be linked to human-caused climate change. Events such as the wettest February on record in 2020, or the record-breaking rainfall seen on 3 October 2020, are expected to become more frequent

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

Case Study Climate Change Risks and Vulnerabilities Adapting to climate change at local and regional level can take a variety of different shapes and forms, with many activities possibly building on and engaging with activities, practices, networks, and stakeholders that authorities have already

The UK climate is monitored by analysing surface observations and placing recent extreme weather events in their historical context.

The National Climate Information Centre (NCIC) generates climate information and statistics using UK surface observations. Techniques are developed to generate long data series for the UK and its regions and to present data, e.g. as maps. Many of the outputs are made available on our UK climate

The Met Office national climate series are constructed from the HadUK-Grid dataset. This dataset and these series are updated annually as a new release. This page provides a reference to the legacy versions of the climate series for users who may wish to compare or analyse the changes that have

The UK Climate Resilience Programme (UKCR) ran from 2019 to 2023. It brought together multi-disciplinary climate research and expertise to ensure the UK is resilient to climate variability and change.

Under the Strategic Priorities Fund, the UK Climate Resilience Programme was led by the Met Office and Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), in partnership with the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), the Department

Climate science involves the development of climate datasets based on observations; the use of these datasets in climate change monitoring and attribution and the use of Earth System Models to make future predictions from months to centuries into the future.   Most recent Hadley Centre Technical
