• Humidity – the second pillar of climate change

  Climate change isn’t just affecting global temperature, it’s also changing the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere with potentially significant impacts, finds a new study looking at global humidity.

  Kate Willett is a Met Office scientist and author of a new study looking at global humidity – the amount of water vapour held in the atmosphere as a gas. She said: “Think of climate change and people immediately think of rising temperatures. This isn’t wrong, but it misses a key fact that climate

Observed trends in regional climate for Southern Africa Observational records show that Southern Africa’s average annual surface temperatures increased by between 1°C and 1.5°C from 1961 to 2015.

• 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

  Ross Archivist We’re experts by nature. It’s who we are. What I do makes a difference... ...because my work at the National Meteorological Library & Archive supports climate scientists by preserving important historical records and valuable data. Extraordinary impact and benefit To make a difference

  this? First, periods of slowing down and pauses in surface warming are not unusual in the instrumental temperature record. Second, climate model simulations suggest that we can expect such a period of a decade or more to occur at least twice per century, due to internal variability alone. Third

• 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
