Wales: climate Wales is a mainly mountainous country with much of the land being over 150 metres. In the north, Snowdon is the highest mountain in England and Wales, at 1085 metres, and in the south the Brecon Beacons rise to 885 metres. The rivers drain radially from the upland areas, the Severn
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
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
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
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
Global observations of surface and upper air humidity, land surface temperature, near-surface air temperature and precipitation extremes are used to provide advice on global climate variability and change.
Temperature, precipitation and humidity and their extremes can have a major impact on our lives. Observational datasets are used to monitor land and atmospheric climate variables, to understand how the climate has changed over time and to examine the occurrence of extremes in temperature and heat
Case Study Climate Change Risks and Vulnerabilities Adapting to climate change at local and regional level can take a variety of different shapes and forms, with many activities possibly building on and engaging with activities, practices, networks, and stakeholders that authorities have already
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
