  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

• 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

• 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

• Central and South Asia climate risk report

  Climate risk report for the Central and South Asia region

  The climate risk report for the Central and South Asia 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

• 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

• 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

  not be used as a climate index in its own right. The named storms of Gertrude, Henry and Imogen in late January and early February followed the previous storms of Desmond, Eva and Frank in December 2015 which brought record-breaking rainfall and associated extensive and severe flooding during December

• 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
