• Climate change drives increase in storm rainfall

  A new study has found climate change has influenced how much rain falls during autumn and winter storms.

  Human-induced climate change made the heavy storm downpours and total rainfall across the UK and Ireland between October 2023 and March 2024 more frequent and intense, according to a rapid attribution analysis by an international team of leading climate scientists. The 2023-24 storm season has been

• Prolonged Siberian heat attributed to climate change

  Prolonged Siberian heat almost impossible without climate change - attribution study

  The recent prolonged Siberia heat from January to June 2020 would have been almost impossible without the influence of human-caused climate change, according to a rapid attribution analysis by a team of leading climate scientists. Temperatures were more than 2 °C hotter because of human influence

  July at Kitzingen, and in France 41.4 °C was recorded at Brive-la-Gaillarde on 16th July (see Useful Resources for a link to WMO Annual Bulletin on the Climate in region VI Europe and Middle East). However, other than on 1st July, the UK remained on the periphery of this heat on the near-continent

The named storms of Gertrude, Henry and Imogen in late January and early February followed the previous storms of Desmond, Eva and Frank in December 2015 which brought record-breaking rainfall and associated extensive and severe flooding during December

• Climate extremes are becoming the new ‘normal’ for the UK

  “What we used to think of as extreme, we increasingly consider as normal.” That is the summarising comment from Mike Kendon, the Met Office lead author of the latest edition of the State of the UK Climate report.

  The report, which covers 2025 puts the latest year and decade into a historical context, tells us about the changes already seen in the UK’s climate. The key change in the UK’s climate is the ongoing rise in temperatures, with extremes particularly affected. Mike Kendon, Met Office climate

• 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

• HadCM3: Met Office climate prediction model

  HadCM3 is a coupled climate model that has been used extensively for climate prediction, detection and attribution, and other climate sensitivity studies.

  HadCM3 stands for the Hadley Centre Coupled Model version 3. It was developed in 1999 and was the first unified model climate configuration not to require flux adjustments (artificial adjustments applied to climate model simulations to prevent them drifting into unrealistic climate states). HadCM3
