Climate science involves the development of climate datasets based on observations; the use of these datasets in climate change monitoring and attribution and the use of Earth System Models to make future predictions from months to centuries into the future.   Most recent Hadley Centre Technical

region, there is either a National Meteorological Service (NMS) or a National Meteorological and Hydrological Service (NHMS). NMS or NMHSs are responsible for observing the weather and keeping climate records, forecasting the weather at various timescales and for developing and delivering forecast

in developed countries than for countries in the global south. Confidence in climate attribution analysis relies on high quality observational records, climate models’ abilities to simulate a particular type of event, and scientific understanding of how natural variability and climate change may influence

in that period including an attribution study of the UK’s record-breaking annual temperature in 2022, where human-induced climate change made this event around 160 times more likely.  In December 2023, the Met Office annual global temperature forecast was published. Global average temperature rise

2024 was the warmest year on record globally and the first year that was likely more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels: a stark reminder global temperatures are continuing to rise.

exceeded the previous warmest year – 2016 - by 0.17°C, making 2024 and 2023 the warmest and second-warmest years on record.   A number of global climate centres will be releasing their 2024 average temperature figures today.  The latest figures highlight how the world is getting closer to breaching

Rapid Response Review shows human-induced climate change promotes the conditions on which wildfires depend, increasing their likelihood.

Assessment Report in 2013. All the studies show links between climate change and increased frequency or severity of fire weather - periods with a high fire risk due to a combination of high temperatures, low humidity, low rainfall and often high winds - though some note anomalies in a few regions

Learn about the climate drivers that influence seasonal forecasts and the impacts they can have on UK and global weather.

Seasonal forecasts rely on aspects of the global weather and climate system that are predictable. These are known as climate drivers and include tropical sea-surface temperatures and pressure patterns over the North Atlantic. The predictable effects of climate drivers act alongside inherently
