• Rainfall across Europe disrupted by climate change

  of Climate, also found that increasing greenhouse gas emissions are associated with increases in extreme rainfall events. As our atmosphere warms due to human induced climate change, it can hold more moisture. For every 1°C of warming the atmosphere can hold between 6-7% more moisture. This has

• Met Office climate scientist awarded an OBE

  Professor Jason Lowe, Head of Climate Services at the Met Office, is a world-leading expert in climate science. His work has been recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list 2020, where he was awarded an OBE.

  Professor Lowe’s work has helped the UK and other countries plan for and respond to the impacts of climate change, directly shaping national and international policy and informing vital decisions to protect businesses and communities. He has pioneered a more collaborative approach to climate

  exceeded 40°C for the first time. This was a milestone in UK climate history, which was complemented by the first ever red severe weather warning for heat issued by the Met Office. Some areas of southern England recorded their highest ever temperatures by extraordinary margins of 3-4°C. A Met Office

• How climate science is protecting military capability

  From aircraft carriers operating in warmer seas to weapons systems performing in extreme conditions, climate change poses a critical risk to UK defence capabilities.  Using our climate expertise to support UK defence  During 2023, the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) was tasked

• Global impacts of climate change - observed trends

  These maps show the observed regional trends in 6 types of climate extremes and impacts, with examples of impactful extreme weather events attributable partly or wholly to anthropogenic climate change.

  Regions around the world are experiencing multiple increasing climate extremes and impacts. The maps show regions where recent decades have seen increases in extreme heat, heavy rainfall, agricultural drought, and the length of the fire weather season, as well as changes in river flows, and glacier

• 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
