• Creating a five-year window into future climate

  Providing annually-updated five-year climate predictions at global and continental scales is the focus of a new international science collaboration co-ordinated by the WMO and led by the UK’s Met Office.

  (1850-1900). The last five-year period has been the warmest five years on record.  This year’s five-year climate forecasts predicts that: there is now a 20% chance of the world temporarily reaching 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels in one of the next five years there will be further enhanced warming of the Arctic compared to other regions increased risk of storminess across the Atlantic basin

  Climate Outlook User Guide The aim of the Met Office’s Climate Outlook product is to provide seasonal information, reviewing the last three months and looking forward 3-6 months, so that readers are informed of the seasonal variability affecting various countries. Multiple climate hazards

• IPCC expresses urgency of tackling climate change

  Following two weeks of intense negotiations, the third report in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report has been published today [Monday 4 April, 2022].

  Known as the Working Group III report, the document provides an up-to-date assessment of the scientific knowledge on climate change mitigation, assessing methods for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Professor Jason Lowe OBE is the Head of Climate

• 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

• Weather and Climate Science for Service Partnership Programme

  The Weather and Climate Science for Service Partnership (WCSSP) programme is harnessing science to address the impacts of extreme weather and climate change.

  The WCSSP programme comprises a network of international partnerships to strengthen the resilience of vulnerable communities to weather and climate variability.   It is funded through the UK government’s International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF), with the Met Office serving as a delivery
