• 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

• 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

• Annual to Decadal Climate Update FAQs

  Annual to Decadal Climate Update provides a synthesis of global annual and multi-year computer model predictions (forecasts) covering the next five years.

  of climate prediction. However, it is still unclear just how competently machine learning will predict events that have not yet been seen in the observational record. 8. How can I access the Annual to Decadal forecast data? To access the forecast data, send your request to wmolc-adcp@metoffice.gov.uk. This is raw data in netcdf format provided for research purposes for someone who has experience working with climate data.

• Learn more about the weather and climate

  A collection of factsheets and guides to understanding our weather and climate.

  A fascinating series of factsheets that clearly describe and illustrate the processes involved in global weather and climate. A brochure on how forecasts are made. Historical factsheets on key weather events, including D-Day. In-depth guides on all aspects of climate and climate change.

• 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

• 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

• 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
