The quality of the air we breathe matters. Clean air is a basic requirement of a healthy environment for us all to live and work.
The Met Office forecast: striving for greater workplace inclusivity and diversity
“Without the contribution of the many women helping to shape our history, the Met Office would not be what it is today.” That is the comment from Tammy Lillie – the Met Office’s Chief People Officer – on the day the organisation learns it is recognised on the UK’s Best Workplaces™ for Women list.
Seamless decision-making for climate adaptation
We all care about how future changes to the weather might affect us. This might be in our professional lives, where we think about risk from extreme weather to one industry, or this might be because we are all affected by disruption to energy supply, to transport and to food supply.
How have daily temperatures shifted in the UK’s changing climate?
A new visualisation of Met Office data lays bare the changing climate of the UK using daily temperature data since 1960.
Latest report highlights significantly low sea ice extent
The latest report on Arctic and Antarctic sea ice identifies issues at both poles.
What can the world expect from the developing El Niño?
There is much speculation about how the developing El Niño will affect weather patterns in the UK and around the world.
Adapting for tomorrow, now

How does climate attribution science relate to Loss and Damage?
In our recent blog post on Loss and Damage, we explored the climate change impacts caused by slow-onset events (such as sea-level rise) and extreme weather events. These different types of events resulting in losses and damages are also implicit in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) ‘Reasons For Concern’ (RFCs).
The science of linking climate change to extreme weather events
“Would this heatwave or severe rainfall have happened without climate change?” This is the kind of question that policymakers and businesses are asking scientists.
