A new international research study, including climate change experts from the University of Leeds, University of Exeter and the Met Office, reveals that permafrost is more sensitive to the effects of global warming than previously thought. The study, published today in Nature Climate Change
Observations of ocean temperature, both at and below the surface; salinity, and sea-ice cover are used to provide advice on global climate variability and change.
The oceans have a crucial role in the climate system owing to their ability to store and transport heat and to impart moisture and heat to the atmosphere. The temperature of the oceans and the amount of sea-ice are, therefore, important indicators of changes to the climate system. Observations

Climate risk report for the East Africa region
The climate risk report for the East Africa region is part of a series of regional climate risk reports the Met Office has produced in collaboration with ODI and commissioned by FCDO to provide evidence to the UK Government in support of adaptation and resilience planning and investments
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
These maps show the areas of greatest concern for experiencing severe climate-related impacts at 4°C global warming relative to pre-industrial levels (1850-1900).
These maps show the areas of greatest concern for experiencing severe climate-related impacts at 4°C global warming relative to pre-industrial levels (1850-1900). They highlight those regions where people may be exposed to severe climate-related impacts, and regions where multiple severe impacts
The UK Climate Resilience Programme ran from 2019 to 2023. As part of our role in co-leading the programme, we produced various infographics to help communicate its outputs.
Programme overview and legacy The infographics below show the programme's strategic themes and how it will achieve a lasting legacy. Download the UK Climate Resilience overview infographic (PDF document) Download the UK Climate Resilience legacy infographic (PDF document) From climate hazard
Causes of changes to different aspects of the climate system are attributed to human and/or natural influences.
Observations contain information about how climate has varied. Climate models provide the facility to investigate the impact of different influences on climate, including both anthropogenic and natural factors, and to determine the level of variability that would still exist in the climate system
