• 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

• 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

• Joint Weather and Climate Research Programme (JWCRP)

  JWCRP aims to further the interests of the Met Office and NERC in growing the UK's leading role in weather and climate research.

  JWCRP facilitates the joint research between the Met Office and Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). Its overarching goal is to ensure that the UK maintains and strengthens its leading international position in weather and climate science. The JWCRP has two major elements. The first

• 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

• 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

• Assessing your climate risk training course

  Assessing your climate risk – an introduction to climate data and reporting course will introduce you to the key concepts of climate risk assessments and aid your understanding of climate projections.

  About this course  The course will help you gain the skills you need to identify, access, interpret and communicate climate data to meet your organisational needs. Course aims At the end, participants will understand:  An established framework for assessing climate risk that can be utilised

• 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

• 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
