• north-east-england_-climate-met-officepdf

  North East England: climate This describes the main features of the climate of NE England, the area east of the Pennine watershed from the Scottish border southwards to South Yorkshire. It comprises the counties of Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, Durham, North, West and South Yorkshire

• south-west-england_-climate-met-officepdf

  South West England: climate The counties included in this area are Cornwall, Devon and Somerset together with the four administrative areas around Bristol (formerly Avon) and the Isles of Scilly. Much of the landscape of Devon and Cornwall consists of plateaux at varying levels. The plateaux

• New directors for national climate science partnership

  Leading UK climate science organisations are driving forwards a national alliance focused on climate solutions for society, led by new co-directors Professor Cath Senior and Professor Michael Meredith.

  The UK National Climate Science Partnership (UKNCSP) brings together Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) supported research centres, and the Met Office, to respond to threats posed by our rapidly changing climate. Professor Michael Meredith, an oceanographer from the British Antarctic

• 'Weather Kids' communicate future climate challenges

  A United Nations global campaign launched today sees children calling for pledges to help prevent the worst impacts of climate change.

  Jack, 9, take on the role of weather forecaster. The campaign launches ahead of World Meteorological Day on Saturday and follows this week’s WMO State of the Global Climate report, which highlighted how through 2023 records were once again broken, and in some cases smashed, for greenhouse gas levels

• The bleakest assessment yet of climate change risk

  Climate change risks worse than previous assessments while the world continues to warm.

  A new report published today [Monday 28 February, 2022] by the IPCC paints the bleakest assessment yet for the impacts of climate change risks on society, human health, agriculture, ecosystems and wildlife. The IPCC has today published the second instalment (Working Group II) of its Sixth

• Met Office weather and climate data and services

  As an international leader in weather and climate science, we are a long-standing, trusted provider of data to organisations across the globe. The Met Office has been the UK’s National Meteorological Service since 1854, so has a detailed and expert understanding of collecting, generating, verifying

• 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

• 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

• 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

• HadCM2: Met Office climate prediction model

  Note that the most recent HadCM model is the HadCM3 HadCM2 stands for the Hadley Centre Coupled Model version 2. It was developed in 1995 and used in the Second Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The atmospheric component has 19 levels with a horizontal resolution
