• An assessment of food security and climate change in Sudan

  Details of the World Food Programme and Met Office study into the relationship between long-term climate change and future food security.

  Download the full food security and climate change assessment for Sudan here. Sudan lies at the northern most extent of the band of tropical rains known as the Inter-tropical Convergence Zone. This means it has a strong gradient of rainfall, ranging from extremely dry conditions in the north

• Near-term climate prediction ‘coming of age’

  Bridging the gap between shorter-term seasonal forecasts and long-term climate projections has long been a dream of climate scientists.

  Now a review paper, published by a team of international climate scientists, and led by authors at the Met Office and the Lamont-Doherty Earth Institute, validates the capability for near-term climate predictions out to a few years ahead. These predictions are expected to become increasingly useful

• 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

• Conference tackling world’s greatest climate challenges

  An online Met Office climate science conference is set to address two of the biggest challenges facing society: net zero and climate resilience.

  The two-day virtual conference, which begins today [Tuesday 11 May, 2021], will be uniting leading scientists and policy makers with climate science communicators and donor organisations. The conference aims to establish a vision for how climate science and services can create a more sustainable

• 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

• HadGEM1: Met Office climate prediction model

  HadGEM1 is the first in a new generation of coupled climate models incorporating a non-hydrostatic, fully compressible, deep atmosphere formulation with a semi-implicit semi-Lagrangian time integration scheme.

  Note that the most recent HadGEM model is the HadGEM3 HadGEM1 stands for the Hadley Centre Global Environment Model version 1. It was developed in 2006 and used in the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The atmospheric component has 38 levels extending

• 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
