• New Temperature Records for the UK.

  Mild spell has led to provisional new temperature records for New Year's Eve and January for the UK but temperatures are now starting to trend down.

  The extremely mild spell is driven by a flow of warm, moist air pushing across the UK from the Canary Islands and further south in the Atlantic and has resulted in the unusual situation of one weather system breaking weather records for two days in separate calendar years. As well as mild

  processes in the model, satellite derived global ozone, greenhouse gas and aerosol concentration datasets are being compared with model simulations to assess the model uncertainties. For the marine domain the sea surface temperature climate data record (CDR) is being used to define the sea surface

• Climate change shifting UK’s high-impact weather

  .   As well as causing future impacts, human-induced climate change has already influenced extreme weather in the UK. Research has shown climate change made the 2018 record-breaking UK summer temperatures about 30 times more likely than it would be naturally. Additionally, a separate study found

  was the wettest spring day on record in a daily series from 1891, with an average of 32.6mm of rain falling, exceeding 32.0mm on 23 April 1971. It was also the wettest spring day on record for the climate district of North West England and North Wales. Cumbria also recorded its wettest spring day in a daily

  for the post-2007 climate. A new record low extent remains a possibility. Antarctic sea ice extent remains 2nd lowest on record for the time of year, although at the end of July it was briefly very close to last year’s record-breaking low extent. Arctic Arctic sea ice state Arctic sea ice extent

• May 2020 becomes the sunniest calendar month on record

  May has become the sunniest calendar month on record in the UK

  for May. Dr Mark McCarthy is the head of the Met Office’s National Climate Information Centre. He said: “The most remarkable aspect is just how much some of the May and Spring records for these climate statistics have been exceeded. Exceeding the UK sunshine record is one thing, but exceeding

• New research shows increasing frequency of extreme rain

  like the observational record. As our climate warms, it is notable quite how variable the number of events becomes year to year. Professor Kendon explains: “The observed rainfall record in the UK is fairly erratic with a large amount of variability, these latest projections show that this is likely

  There is a 98% chance that one of next five years will be the warmest year on record for the globe.

  will temporarily exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for at least one of the next five years There is a 98% likelihood that at least one of the next five years will be the warmest on record El Niño and human-induced climate change will likely combine to fuel global temperature increase next year
