• Uganda - Strengthening Weather and Climate Information Services

  The purpose of this project was to improve the availability, relevance and use of weather and climate information in 22 targeted districts in Uganda using local languages.

  co-production, ACCRA will bring together producers of climate information and advisories, translate the forecasts and advisories into 22 local languages with community-based organisations to provide households with relevant forecasts across multiple timescales. These will be delivered through

• Met Office seasonal and climate models explained

  Some definitions of our seasonal, decadal and centennial climate predictions.

  Seasonal to decadal forecasts Although climate is expected to warm over the coming century in response to increasing levels of greenhouse gases, regional changes over the coming seasons to a decade or more are likely to be dominated by unforced natural variability of the climate system. Some

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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

• Asia Regional Resilience to a Changing Climate (ARRCC)

  new technologies and innovative approaches to help vulnerable communities use weather warnings and forecasts to better prepare for climate-related shocks.   Asia is highly vulnerable to natural disasters and this vulnerability is expected to increase. The ARRCC programme targeted the most vulnerable
