• Food, Farming and Natural Environment Climate Service

  Met Office science is helping UK farmers and the wider food chain prepare for a changing climate. This work includes a number of ‘Climate Services’ which are funded by Defra (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs).

  UK agriculture, food and climate adaptation  The UK Climate Projections (UKCP) show us that the UK is likely to experience ‘hotter, drier summers and warmer, wetter winters’, as well as an increase in extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall, periods of drought and heatwaves. These changing

  Improving resilience to weather and climate extremes

  with the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), to help strengthen PAGASA's technical capabilities as well as provide state-of-the-art information to guide decisions and build resilience to future climate-related risks.

• HadCM3: Met Office climate prediction model

  HadCM3 is a coupled climate model that has been used extensively for climate prediction, detection and attribution, and other climate sensitivity studies.

  HadCM3 stands for the Hadley Centre Coupled Model version 3. It was developed in 1999 and was the first unified model climate configuration not to require flux adjustments (artificial adjustments applied to climate model simulations to prevent them drifting into unrealistic climate states). HadCM3

• 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

• 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

• IPCC expresses urgency of tackling climate change

  Following two weeks of intense negotiations, the third report in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report has been published today [Monday 4 April, 2022].

  Known as the Working Group III report, the document provides an up-to-date assessment of the scientific knowledge on climate change mitigation, assessing methods for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Professor Jason Lowe OBE is the Head of Climate

• 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
