supply, to transport and to food supply. Decisions on a range of timescales We don’t just care about the weather tomorrow, but we care about the weather next season, and the weather further into the future. We know climate change will bring hotter drier summers, and warmer wetter winters, and more

for the time of year, with highs in the upper teens and possibly low twenties in the east before the showery rain arrives. It may feel cooler, especially as breezes pick up along the south coast at times. Midweek: wet and windy for many Wednesday marks the return to school for many, and it could

weather: Storm Amy brings unsettled conditions Author: Press Office 3 October 2025 As we head into the first weekend of October, all eyes are on Storm Amy, the first named storm of the 2025-2026 season. The Met Office is closely monitoring this developing system, which is set to bring a spell of very

performance. From heavy rainfall and flooding to autumn leaf-fall and extreme heat, adverse conditions can disrupt services, damage infrastructure, and pose safety risks. Poor adhesion, caused by wet or leaf-covered tracks, is a significant issue, costing the rail industry and wider society an estimated

how temperature fluctuations, shifting rainfall patterns, and rising sea levels are affecting species and ecosystems across the UK. Impacts on species behaviour One area of focus has been the impact of changing weather on species behaviour. For example, in Northern Ireland, warmer and wetter

Shortening of growing season for key crops (e.g. cereals and vegetables) planted in October/November and harvested between June and August. Off-season crops - typically summer vegetables - planted

This occurs because La Niña cools the ocean temperature and modifies tropical weather patterns, making many land regions wetter and allowing plants to grow better and absorb more CO2.  2016 saw a record rise due to a near-record El Niño event in addition to high

for hypothermia risk in cold, wet conditions or heat exhaustion during hot spells, and coordinate the right response. Climate change makes this even more important. Met Office predictions for 2070 compared to 1990 indicate winters will be between 0.5 and 3.2°C warmer and up to 30% wetter, with rainfall
