• Creating a five-year window into future climate

  Providing annually-updated five-year climate predictions at global and continental scales is the focus of a new international science collaboration co-ordinated by the WMO and led by the UK’s Met Office.

  (1850-1900). The last five-year period has been the warmest five years on record.  This year’s five-year climate forecasts predicts that: there is now a 20% chance of the world temporarily reaching 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels in one of the next five years there will be further enhanced warming of the Arctic compared to other regions increased risk of storminess across the Atlantic basin

• Climate change increases global burnt area

  A new international study has revealed climate change is contributing to an increase in wildfires worldwide, despite human interventions trying to temper this trend.

  The study - led by a team of scientists from the Met Office and Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB)  -compares wildfire models with and without the effects of climate change. It shows that in many regions the frequency and intensity of wildfires is increasing, especially in sensitive ecosystems

• July 2019: a month in UK climate statistics

  July 2019 saw the highest temperature ever recorded in the UK, but the month wasn’t all about heat – rainfall is a significant talking point too, particularly across parts of northern England.

  on from a largely wet June, northern England and the Midlands have now received more than the season’s usual rainfall, with August still to go. Tim Legg, of the Met Office’s National Climate Information Centre, said: “With an all-time temperature record it would be easy to assume that this summer

• Uganda - Strengthening Weather and Climate Information Services

  The purpose of this project was to improve the availability, relevance and use of weather and climate information in 22 targeted districts in Uganda using local languages.

  co-production, ACCRA will bring together producers of climate information and advisories, translate the forecasts and advisories into 22 local languages with community-based organisations to provide households with relevant forecasts across multiple timescales. These will be delivered through

• 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

• 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
