  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

• 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

• Communicate smarter about climate change action

  New online tool will help communicate co-benefits of climate action.

  Policy analysts and planners will be able to communicate smarter about climate change action by using a new online decision-support tool which has been launched today at COP27. Developed by researchers at the University of Leeds and the Met Office, it synthesises the latest scientific evidence

• Understanding one of Europe's biggest climate drivers

  A new Met Office-led study – reviewing evidence from previous scientific papers and climate models – reveals natural patterns of weakening and strengthening of ocean currents which influence the UK’s weather and climate.

  In the North Atlantic lies one of the world’s largest climate mechanisms: a system of currents transporting relatively warm water from the tropics to the poles, with return currents at depth transporting colder, denser water further south. The transport of heat to the North Atlantic keeps the UK’s

• Supporting the development of user-based climate services

  ASPIRE – Adaptive Social Protection - Information for Enhanced Resilience Overview • ASPIRE will integrate climate information into social protection decision making in the Sahel so that it can become responsive to climate shocks. For example, increasing regular cash payments to vulnerable

• An assessment of food security and climate change in Sudan

  Details of the World Food Programme and Met Office study into the relationship between long-term climate change and future food security.

  Download the full food security and climate change assessment for Sudan here. Sudan lies at the northern most extent of the band of tropical rains known as the Inter-tropical Convergence Zone. This means it has a strong gradient of rainfall, ranging from extremely dry conditions in the north

• HadGEM1: Met Office climate prediction model

  HadGEM1 is the first in a new generation of coupled climate models incorporating a non-hydrostatic, fully compressible, deep atmosphere formulation with a semi-implicit semi-Lagrangian time integration scheme.

  Note that the most recent HadGEM model is the HadGEM3 HadGEM1 stands for the Hadley Centre Global Environment Model version 1. It was developed in 2006 and used in the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The atmospheric component has 38 levels extending

• Met Office climate scientist awarded an OBE

  Professor Jason Lowe, Head of Climate Services at the Met Office, is a world-leading expert in climate science. His work has been recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list 2020, where he was awarded an OBE.

  Professor Lowe’s work has helped the UK and other countries plan for and respond to the impacts of climate change, directly shaping national and international policy and informing vital decisions to protect businesses and communities. He has pioneered a more collaborative approach to climate
