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 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

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

The annual state of the Climate report highlights 2017 as one of the top three warmest years on record.

An international analysis of the global climate of 2017 has been published in the annual report, ‘State of the Climate in 2017’ released yesterday by the American Meteorological Society. The report highlights that 2017 is among the top three warmest years for global temperature since records began

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
