• 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

  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

  July at Kitzingen, and in France 41.4 °C was recorded at Brive-la-Gaillarde on 16th July (see Useful Resources for a link to WMO Annual Bulletin on the Climate in region VI Europe and Middle East). However, other than on 1st July, the UK remained on the periphery of this heat on the near-continent

The named storms of Gertrude, Henry and Imogen in late January and early February followed the previous storms of Desmond, Eva and Frank in December 2015 which brought record-breaking rainfall and associated extensive and severe flooding during December

• 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

• 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
