The Tea-CUP project is changing how climate services are delivered by developing actionable information to address the challenges of climate change within the tea industry, informing adaptation measures and decision-making.

, and climate change is posing significant challenges to the tea industry in China, the UK and beyond. In the Tea-CUP project (Co-developing Useful Predictions) scientists from the Met Office and China have been working with tea experts and local farmers in Yunnan Province to understand what seasonal

Climate change isn’t just affecting global temperature, it’s also changing the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere with potentially significant impacts, finds a new study looking at global humidity.

Kate Willett is a Met Office scientist and author of a new study looking at global humidity – the amount of water vapour held in the atmosphere as a gas. She said: “Think of climate change and people immediately think of rising temperatures. This isn’t wrong, but it misses a key fact that climate

over the whole year it might seem rather unremarkable, however it is telling that whereas we consider 2021 as near-average for temperature in the context of the current climate, had this occurred just over three decades ago it would have been one of the UK’s warmest years on record. “Although 1°C

The latest supercomputing technology will unleash the full potential of weather and climate data for the UK

Up to £1.2 billion investment has been confirmed for a state-of-the-art supercomputer to improve severe weather and climate forecasting, Data from the supercomputer will be used to inform Government policy as part of leading the global fight against climate change and meeting net zero emission

This page explains how we study extreme weather events, to see if climate change was a cause. These attribution studies help shape our understanding of climate change and its impacts.

effect climate change had on an event. This might include many variables, like temperature and rainfall. An attribution case study: The European heatwave in 2019 In July 2019, we saw record breaking temperatures across the UK and Western Europe. In Cambridge, we saw a temperature of 38.7°C

The ENACTS initiative is implemented by National Meteorological and Hydrological Services and Regional Climate Centres in Africa with the support of the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) and other partners. It is designed to transform local, national and regional

A leading climate scientist has been appointed MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List.

Office correctly predicted the record-breaking rise in atmospheric CO2 in 2016, caused by the large El Niño weakening natural carbon sinks and magnifying the impact of human emissions. He is currently leading the main analysis for the UK’s third national Climate Change Risk Assessment to inform

November 2024 - Novel research projects joining expertise at Met Office and The Wildlife Trusts sow the seeds for further research on climate and nature.

There are strong relationships between climate and the natural world. Habitats and wildlife often suffer as a result of climate changes, but they are also a key part of the solution, helping us to build resilience to current and future change.   The UK is one of the most nature depleted countries
