  Data Portal Home Accessing UKCP Data: User Interface Observations UKCP18 includes a comprehensive set of observations of weather and climate covering the UK, with some records extending back over 150 years. Examining observations enables us to place the model simulated climate into context. Read more

• 2024: record-breaking watershed year for global climate

  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

  as a result of human-induced climate change (Oliver et al., 2018). This marine heatwave persisted for 298 days, the longest on record for this region, with an average intensity of 2°C (Iskandar et al., 2021). Precipitation has generally increased by around 0.2- 0.5mm/day per decade, although this trend

  to lack of reliable observation records (Fallah et al., 2023). Central Asian countries such as Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan have very complex topography which requires high resolution climate data (~30km) for regional trend attribution studies (Fallah et 16 al., 2023). Central Asian trend attribution

• Record-breaking rain more likely due to climate change

  Record-breaking rainfall like that seen on 3 October 2020 could be 10 times more likely by 2100.

  Europe, especially south-east France and north-west Italy. Head of the Met Office’s National Climate Information Centre, Mark McCarthy, said: “The record daily UK rainfall recorded on 3 October 2020 in the wake of Storm Alex was really quite extreme. The preceding drier conditions through September

• Global impacts of climate change - observed trends

  These maps show the observed regional trends in 6 types of climate extremes and impacts, with examples of impactful extreme weather events attributable partly or wholly to anthropogenic climate change.

  Regions around the world are experiencing multiple increasing climate extremes and impacts. The maps show regions where recent decades have seen increases in extreme heat, heavy rainfall, agricultural drought, and the length of the fire weather season, as well as changes in river flows, and glacier
