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
Global Climate Observing System The Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) is intended to be a long-term, user-driven operational system capable of providing the comprehensive observations required for monitoring the climate syst
GCOS is vital for: detecting and attributing climate change; assessing the impacts of climate variability and change; supporting research toward improved understanding, modelling and prediction of the climate system. It addresses the total climate system including physical, chemical and biological
The Met Office co-led the UK Climate Resilience Programme (UKCR) from 2019 to 2023.
From 2019 to 2023, the UK Climate Resilience Programme united multi-disciplinary research to enhance the UK's resilience to climate variability and change. Under the Strategic Priorities Fund, the programme was led by the Met Office and Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), in partnership
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
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 by 2100 due
Arctic sea ice is a sensitive indicator of climate change and changes to the sea ice cover can have potential implications for the Arctic region and beyond.

He said: “February 2021 has seen a wide temperature range resulting from the two predominant weather patterns
