• 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

• World’s oceans capturing unrelenting climate change

  The world’s oceans are charting the unrelenting progress of climate change says a new global report: The State of the Climate in 2021.

  The 32nd annual State of the Climate report – published today by the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society – shows that two marine-related measures – ocean heat content and global sea level rise – were the highest on record last year. Scientists measure climate change by a number

• Creating a five-year window into future climate

  Providing annually-updated five-year climate predictions at global and continental scales is the focus of a new international science collaboration co-ordinated by the WMO and led by the UK’s Met Office.

  (1850-1900). The last five-year period has been the warmest five years on record.  This year’s five-year climate forecasts predicts that: there is now a 20% chance of the world temporarily reaching 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels in one of the next five years there will be further enhanced warming of the Arctic compared to other regions increased risk of storminess across the Atlantic basin

• climate-outlook-user-guide---april-2025docx

  Climate Outlook User Guide The aim of the Met Office’s Climate Outlook product is to provide seasonal information, reviewing the last three months and looking forward 3-6 months, so that readers are informed of the seasonal variability affecting various countries. Multiple climate hazards

• 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

• 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
