• Near-term climate prediction ‘coming of age’

  Bridging the gap between shorter-term seasonal forecasts and long-term climate projections has long been a dream of climate scientists.

  Now a review paper, published by a team of international climate scientists, and led by authors at the Met Office and the Lamont-Doherty Earth Institute, validates the capability for near-term climate predictions out to a few years ahead. These predictions are expected to become increasingly useful

• Call for climate change evidence launches today

  The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) has today launched a call for evidence to identify relevant published information about the risks and opportunities facing the UK from climate change.

  The evidence will help to inform the government’s third UK Climate Change Risk Assessment, due to be published in 2022. Every five years, the UK government must carry out an assessment of current and future risks to the country from climate change. To inform the 2022 risk assessment, the Department

• Conference tackling world’s greatest climate challenges

  An online Met Office climate science conference is set to address two of the biggest challenges facing society: net zero and climate resilience.

  The two-day virtual conference, which begins today [Tuesday 11 May, 2021], will be uniting leading scientists and policy makers with climate science communicators and donor organisations. The conference aims to establish a vision for how climate science and services can create a more sustainable

• Climate extremes are becoming the new ‘normal’ for the UK

  “What we used to think of as extreme, we increasingly consider as normal.” That is the summarising comment from Mike Kendon, the Met Office lead author of the latest edition of the State of the UK Climate report.

  The report, which covers 2025 puts the latest year and decade into a historical context, tells us about the changes already seen in the UK’s climate. The key change in the UK’s climate is the ongoing rise in temperatures, with extremes particularly affected. Mike Kendon, Met Office climate

• Prolonged Siberian heat attributed to climate change

  Prolonged Siberian heat almost impossible without climate change - attribution study

  The recent prolonged Siberia heat from January to June 2020 would have been almost impossible without the influence of human-caused climate change, according to a rapid attribution analysis by a team of leading climate scientists. Temperatures were more than 2 °C hotter because of human influence

• Improving Model Processes for African Climate (IMPALA)

  This research programme aims to improve the understanding of Africa's climate to help provide high-quality information that is crucial for effective decision making across the continent.

  research will improve understanding of African climate processes and the mechanisms of future change. The information gathered by the new research will help decision-makers reduce climate-related risks. For example, infrastructure can be re-designed to account for high temperatures and changing rainfall
