  July at Kitzingen, and in France 41.4 °C was recorded at Brive-la-Gaillarde on 16th July (see Useful Resources for a link to WMO Annual Bulletin on the Climate in region VI Europe and Middle East). However, other than on 1st July, the UK remained on the periphery of this heat on the near-continent

• Communicate smarter about climate change action

  New online tool will help communicate co-benefits of climate action.

  Policy analysts and planners will be able to communicate smarter about climate change action by using a new online decision-support tool which has been launched today at COP27. Developed by researchers at the University of Leeds and the Met Office, it synthesises the latest scientific evidence

• Rainfall across Europe disrupted by climate change

  of Climate, also found that increasing greenhouse gas emissions are associated with increases in extreme rainfall events. As our atmosphere warms due to human induced climate change, it can hold more moisture. For every 1°C of warming the atmosphere can hold between 6-7% more moisture. This has

• 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

• Heat in cities – the health impacts of a changing climate

  exceeded 40°C for the first time. This was a milestone in UK climate history, which was complemented by the first ever red severe weather warning for heat issued by the Met Office. Some areas of southern England recorded their highest ever temperatures by extraordinary margins of 3-4°C. A Met Office

• Climate change increases global burnt area

  A new international study has revealed climate change is contributing to an increase in wildfires worldwide, despite human interventions trying to temper this trend.

  The study - led by a team of scientists from the Met Office and Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB)  -compares wildfire models with and without the effects of climate change. It shows that in many regions the frequency and intensity of wildfires is increasing, especially in sensitive ecosystems
