Climate change will have an increasing impact on our lives, including the sport we love to watch.

already seen aspects such as extreme heat, and the worse is yet to come. “The UK has not recorded temperatures of more than 38.7 °C. However, our climate projections show temperatures of 40.0 °C or more are possible at Wimbledon even during future tournaments, posing considerable challenges

Providing policy-relevant evidence and research on avoiding dangerous climate change and its impacts.

It is critical that mitigation and adaptation policy are underpinned by strong scientific evidence. The Climate Change Mitigation Advice team carries out original underpinning research on aspects of dangerous climate change, including Amazon dieback, the cryosphere, and marine impacts. Our primary

Western Scotland: climate This describes the main features of the climate of Western Scotland, comprising the former regions of Strathclyde, Central (except for Clackmannanshire and Falkirk) and Dumfries and Galloway. It includes the Argyll islands, such as Arran, and the southern Hebrides

The latest supercomputing technology will unleash the full potential of weather and climate data for the UK

Up to £1.2 billion investment has been confirmed for a state-of-the-art supercomputer to improve severe weather and climate forecasting, Data from the supercomputer will be used to inform Government policy as part of leading the global fight against climate change and meeting net zero emission

Causes of changes to different aspects of the climate system are attributed to human and/or natural influences.

Observations contain information about how climate has varied. Climate models provide the facility to investigate the impact of different influences on climate, including both anthropogenic and natural factors, and to determine the level of variability that would still exist in the climate system

The aim of the product is to provide seasonal climate information, reviewing the last 3 months and looking forward 3-6 months, so that readers are informed of the climate variability affecting various countries.   The skill of long-range outlooks varies with the time of year and with location, due

These maps show the areas of greatest concern for experiencing severe climate-related impacts at 4°C global warming relative to pre-industrial levels (1850-1900).

These maps show the areas of greatest concern for experiencing severe climate-related impacts at 4°C global warming relative to pre-industrial levels (1850-1900). They highlight those regions where people may be exposed to severe climate-related impacts, and regions where multiple severe impacts

The UK Climate Resilience Programme ran from 2019 to 2023. As part of our role in co-leading the programme, we produced various infographics to help communicate its outputs.

Programme overview and legacy The infographics below show the programme's strategic themes and how it will achieve a lasting legacy.  From climate hazard to climate risk As part of the Multiple Hazards projects within the work package From climate hazard to climate risk, we found that climate
