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.
and/or observational records, and so cannot take into account changes in feedbacks and processes in the climate system as the ice cover declines. Therefore climate models remain our most robust tool for investigating future change. References Vaughan, D.G., et. al 2013: Observations: Cryosphere
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
New tool shows what climate change might look like in your area
climate projections really puts future extremes into context. We’ve seen a raft of record-breaking weather over the past few years, and when you put that side by side with the projections it really brings to life what the weather could look like if we don’t significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions

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
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 Human dynamics of climate change poster studies the impacts of climate change in the context of present-day human dynamics
The impacts of climate change will not be experienced in isolation, but will affect humans in the context of the way we live. The 'Human dynamics of climate change' poster aims to illustrate some of the impacts of climate and population change in the context of a globalised world. You can download
We can help you apply weather and climate insights to make better decisions, improve resilience and increase efficiencies across the infrastructure asset’s lifecycle.
and climate science. Guiding climate action, health and safety, and the future resilience of UK infrastructure. Insight to assess financial viability – supporting initial scoping of infrastructure projects, with design options and site selection process, can enable strategic planners to develop detailed
Working in partnership with scientific institutions in developing countries to generate and communicate information on climate variability and change
The Climate Information for International Development team is a diverse mix of scientific software engineers and scientists working to generate, analyse and communicate information to a range of customers. Activities include scientific analysis and training, model development, regional climate
The UK Climate Projections (UKCP18) provides a comprehensive set of climate model projections for the UK, showing how the climate is likely to change in the future.
Why are the UKCP18 webpages different? Please note we recently revised our UK Climate Projections (UKCP18) webpages. This includes an updated UKCP18 guidance and reports page, as well as various changes to other pages. You can find links to other UKCP18 pages at the bottom of this page. Please
