, calculate the global surface temperature each month, and each year too. Global surface temperature records are needed to give us the big picture about how our climate is changing. Explain that they are going to have a look at real-life data to learn more about climate change 20 minutes Groupwork
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

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

Met Office UK Climate series Access the data Update March 2023: The UK climate series have been updated and are now derived from v1.2.0.0 of the HadUK-Grid dataset. This update has included a second version of digitized Rainfall Rescue data, and an extension of the sunshine series back to 1910
Exploring climate impacts Age range: 7-11 Exploring climate impacts | Weather and climate stories Introduction Overview This lesson explores climate change and its impacts around the world. Your pupils will step into the shoes of people in other countries, finding out about their ways of life
Leadership and services to climate science recognised in New Year Honours for Met Office Science Fellow
Richard Jones, who is a Met Office Science Fellow, and a visiting Professor at the University of Oxford has been working in climate science for thirty-two years, and has been a prominent author for the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) across its last four assessment reports
The High Resolution Global Climate Modelling group both develops and analyses a hierarchy of model resolutions (ranging from 130km to 25km in the atmosphere, and 1 degree to ¼ degree in the ocean) based on the Met Office climate prediction model: HadGEM3 family configuration of the Unified Model
