Met Office climate models have made a significant input to the international CMIP5 modelling project for IPCC
The Met Office runs a 1.5 km grid length model over the UK in order to produce improved forecasts of small scale weather such as thunderstorm and winter snow.
After seven hurricanes and 12 other named storms causing several billion dollars of damage, the 2011 North Atlantic hurricane season has now officially come to an end.
Sea surface temperatures are currently below normal over much of the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. In conjunction with stronger trade winds, suppressed rainfall in the central Pacific and…
Arctic sea ice extent reached the second lowest minimum value on record this September.
Computer-intensive simulation of weather and climate in the UK is taking a significant step forward today, as the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE) Access Committee granted substantial computing…
Research from the Met Office has shed new light on a link between decadal solar variability and winter climate in the UK, northern Europe and parts of America.
In late July 2011 the Met Office extended its operational dust storm forecasting capability to give global coverage, and to produce longer range forecasts extending out to 5 days.
