• Near-term climate prediction ‘coming of age’

  Bridging the gap between shorter-term seasonal forecasts and long-term climate projections has long been a dream of climate scientists.

  Now a review paper, published by a team of international climate scientists, and led by authors at the Met Office and the Lamont-Doherty Earth Institute, validates the capability for near-term climate predictions out to a few years ahead. These predictions are expected to become increasingly useful

• Building resilience to a changing climate across the Commonwealth

  The Met Office is helping develop weather forecasting capability and specialist climate change services for Commonwealth countries following the announcement of two new projects aimed at improving weather and climate resilience.

  The Met Office has been at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in London this week (16th - 20th) demonstrating our position as a global partner of choice for weather and climate services. Throughout the week, the Met Office has been showcasing our work across the Commonwealth

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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
