The sixth report in the State of the UK Climate series confirms that 2019 was the 12th warmest year in a series from 1884.
The latest report covering the climate of the UK – published today [Friday 31 July ]- reveals that the most recent decade (2010-2019) has been on average 0.9° C warmer across the UK than the period 1961-1990, with 2019 being 1.1° C above the 1961-1990 long-term average. 2019 sets four UK high
The influence of climate change on severe weather Author: Prof Paul Davies (Met Office Chief Meteorologist) 18 January 2024 The Met Office’s dedicated team looking at weather and climate extremes has collated the latest published academic literature on severe weather in the UK in the context of our

next as the Sun reaches solar maximum phase? Author: Press Office 31 October 2024 We take an in-depth look at how the Sun’s solar cycle will influence auroral displays. Earlier this month, NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the International Solar Cycle Prediction
know drive marine heatwaves. “These conditions coincided with a weak northeasterly airflow, which allowed the North Sea temperatures to influence UK land. By using our peer reviewed method, we can calculate this influence to be +0.5°C averaged over the whole month.” In our latest episode of Climate

The auroras on Earth, which are most commonly seen over high polar latitudes but can often spread south to be visible over parts of the UK, are chiefly influenced by geomagnetic storms which originate from activity on the Sun.

The monitor will be chiefly looking for spikes in neutrons, called Ground Level Enhancements (GLE), which occur during solar radiation storms that are caused by the acceleration of particles close to the Sun.
