• 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

• Asia Regional Resilience to a Changing Climate (ARRCC)

  new technologies and innovative approaches to help vulnerable communities use weather warnings and forecasts to better prepare for climate-related shocks.   Asia is highly vulnerable to natural disasters and this vulnerability is expected to increase. The ARRCC programme targeted the most vulnerable

• Assessing your climate risk training course

  Assessing your climate risk – an introduction to climate data and reporting course will introduce you to the key concepts of climate risk assessments and aid your understanding of climate projections.

  About this course  The course will help you gain the skills you need to identify, access, interpret and communicate climate data to meet your organisational needs. Course aims At the end, participants will understand:  An established framework for assessing climate risk that can be utilised

• Food, Farming and Natural Environment Climate Service

  Met Office science is helping UK farmers and the wider food chain prepare for a changing climate. This work includes a number of ‘Climate Services’ which are funded by Defra (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs).

  UK agriculture, food and climate adaptation  The UK Climate Projections (UKCP) show us that the UK is likely to experience ‘hotter, drier summers and warmer, wetter winters’, as well as an increase in extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall, periods of drought and heatwaves. These changing

• Joint Weather and Climate Research Programme (JWCRP)

  JWCRP aims to further the interests of the Met Office and NERC in growing the UK's leading role in weather and climate research.

  JWCRP facilitates the joint research between the Met Office and Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). Its overarching goal is to ensure that the UK maintains and strengthens its leading international position in weather and climate science. The JWCRP has two major elements. The first

• UK researchers join forces for climate solutions

  The UK’s leading climate science organisations are joining forces to develop a new national alliance focused on climate solutions for society.

  Seven Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) supported centres and the Met Office will work together as the new UK National Climate Science Partnership (UKNCSP) to respond to threats posed by a rapidly changing climate by putting climate science at the forefront of the solutions agenda

• Weather and Climate Science for Service Partnership Programme

  The Weather and Climate Science for Service Partnership (WCSSP) programme is harnessing science to address the impacts of extreme weather and climate change.

  The WCSSP programme comprises a network of international partnerships to strengthen the resilience of vulnerable communities to weather and climate variability.   It is funded through the UK government’s International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF), with the Met Office serving as a delivery

• 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

• Rainfall across Europe disrupted by climate change

  of Climate, also found that increasing greenhouse gas emissions are associated with increases in extreme rainfall events. As our atmosphere warms due to human induced climate change, it can hold more moisture. For every 1°C of warming the atmosphere can hold between 6-7% more moisture. This has
