• 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

• Food, Farming and Natural Environment Climate Service

  Met Office science is helping UK farmers and the wider food chain prepare for a changing climate. This work includes a number of ‘Climate Services’ which are funded by Defra (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs).

  UK agriculture, food and climate adaptation  The UK Climate Projections (UKCP) show us that the UK is likely to experience ‘hotter, drier summers and warmer, wetter winters’, as well as an increase in extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall, periods of drought and heatwaves. These changing

• Assessing your climate risk training course

  Assessing your climate risk – an introduction to climate data and reporting course will introduce you to the key concepts of climate risk assessments and aid your understanding of climate projections.

  About this course  The course will help you gain the skills you need to identify, access, interpret and communicate climate data to meet your organisational needs. Course aims At the end, participants will understand:  An established framework for assessing climate risk that can be utilised

• An assessment of food security and climate change in Sudan

  Details of the World Food Programme and Met Office study into the relationship between long-term climate change and future food security.

  Download the full food security and climate change assessment for Sudan here. Sudan lies at the northern most extent of the band of tropical rains known as the Inter-tropical Convergence Zone. This means it has a strong gradient of rainfall, ranging from extremely dry conditions in the north

• UK researchers join forces for climate solutions

  The UK’s leading climate science organisations are joining forces to develop a new national alliance focused on climate solutions for society.

  Seven Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) supported centres and the Met Office will work together as the new UK National Climate Science Partnership (UKNCSP) to respond to threats posed by a rapidly changing climate by putting climate science at the forefront of the solutions agenda

• World’s oceans capturing unrelenting climate change

  The world’s oceans are charting the unrelenting progress of climate change says a new global report: The State of the Climate in 2021.

  The 32nd annual State of the Climate report – published today by the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society – shows that two marine-related measures – ocean heat content and global sea level rise – were the highest on record last year. Scientists measure climate change by a number

• 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
