Climate risk report for the Sahel region

The climate risk report for the Sahel 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. The Climate

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

Find out how climate action could shape future vulnerability to food insecurity using a new interactive website

Experts from the World Food Programme have worked in collaboration with Met Office climate scientists to devise a measurement of food vulnerability to climate change. The Food Insecurity and Climate Change index is a measure of how vulnerable to disruption a country's food security system

July 2019 - This Research News article provides details of a new Met Office briefing note on how lags in our climate system lead to committed warming under a range of emissions scenarios.

The climate system responds to human influences on a range of different time-scales. Changes in the net amount of the sun’s energy absorbed by the Earth, known as the ‘radiative forcing’, happen quickly in response to emissions of greenhouse gases. For many other climate metrics there is a slower

The Met Office Climate Services Week 2022 is taking place from 9-13 May. The inaugural event was held in 2017.

Why are we hosting Climate Services Week? We want to celebrate the great progress our climate services and science communities have made during recent years in understanding decision-making requirements and turning the science into useable and useful tools and information. This is helping people
