• New report on the state of global climate in 2019

  A major report on the state of the global climate for 2019 published today reveals further evidence of climate change.

  indicators and observations show that the global climate is continuing to change rapidly. “Global average temperature is perhaps the simplest climate indicator through which to view the changes taking place in our climate. 2019 was one of the top three warmest years in the historical record dating back

• Call for climate change evidence launches today

  The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) has today launched a call for evidence to identify relevant published information about the risks and opportunities facing the UK from climate change.

  The evidence will help to inform the government’s third UK Climate Change Risk Assessment, due to be published in 2022. Every five years, the UK government must carry out an assessment of current and future risks to the country from climate change. To inform the 2022 risk assessment, the Department

• Conference tackling world’s greatest climate challenges

  An online Met Office climate science conference is set to address two of the biggest challenges facing society: net zero and climate resilience.

  The two-day virtual conference, which begins today [Tuesday 11 May, 2021], will be uniting leading scientists and policy makers with climate science communicators and donor organisations. The conference aims to establish a vision for how climate science and services can create a more sustainable

• 'Weather Kids' communicate future climate challenges

  A United Nations global campaign launched today sees children calling for pledges to help prevent the worst impacts of climate change.

  Jack, 9, take on the role of weather forecaster. The campaign launches ahead of World Meteorological Day on Saturday and follows this week’s WMO State of the Global Climate report, which highlighted how through 2023 records were once again broken, and in some cases smashed, for greenhouse gas levels

• 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

• Building capacity and improving climate resilience in the Philippines

  Improving resilience to weather and climate extremes

  with the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), to help strengthen PAGASA's technical capabilities as well as provide state-of-the-art information to guide decisions and build resilience to future climate-related risks.

• Improving Model Processes for African Climate (IMPALA)

  This research programme aims to improve the understanding of Africa's climate to help provide high-quality information that is crucial for effective decision making across the continent.

  research will improve understanding of African climate processes and the mechanisms of future change. The information gathered by the new research will help decision-makers reduce climate-related risks. For example, infrastructure can be re-designed to account for high temperatures and changing rainfall

• UK Climate Resilience Programme additional resources

  Additional resources produced by the UK Climate Resilience Programme that ran from 2019 to 2023.

  The UK Climate Resilience Programme produced a wide range of outputs, including data, journal papers, reports and briefings. Data 1. Samples of extreme winters to support climate adaptation This data set is designed to better understand the statistics of three extreme winters, as sampled by the UK
