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

The Tea-CUP project is changing how climate services are delivered by developing actionable information to address the challenges of climate change within the tea industry, informing adaptation measures and decision-making.

, and climate change is posing significant challenges to the tea industry in China, the UK and beyond. In the Tea-CUP project (Co-developing Useful Predictions) scientists from the Met Office and China have been working with tea experts and local farmers in Yunnan Province to understand what seasonal

Climate stripes collage Our climate is changing, and one way we can show this is to make graphs, maps or pictures of climate data. You may have noticed the climate stripes developed by Climatologist Professor Ed Hawkins using Met Office data. Looking almost like works of art, these eye-catching
