• Met Office seasonal and climate models explained

  Some definitions of our seasonal, decadal and centennial climate predictions.

  Seasonal to decadal forecasts Although climate is expected to warm over the coming century in response to increasing levels of greenhouse gases, regional changes over the coming seasons to a decade or more are likely to be dominated by unforced natural variability of the climate system. Some

• 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

• 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

• 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

• Met Office weather and climate data and services

  As an international leader in weather and climate science, we are a long-standing, trusted provider of data to organisations across the globe. The Met Office has been the UK’s National Meteorological Service since 1854, so has a detailed and expert understanding of collecting, generating, verifying

• 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

• 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
