Storms are very complex systems that play an important role in the transport of heat and energy across the world. Therefore, they can be affected by small changes in regional and global patterns. Some influences on storm activity that are likely to be affected by climate change are: Sea surface

In 1914 the archive was established as the official

be why showers in summer are often heavier than in winter. As the climate continues to warm, the effect will increase, and heavy rainfall events are expected to become more common. The movement of weather patterns across the world For example, the position of the jet stream near the UK influences a lot

understanding of the mechanisms of climate variability. This understanding comes from the published literature and our own original research. Current research topics include investigating the mechanisms by which the stratosphere influences Northern Hemisphere winter atmospheric circulation

in the HadCRUT5 global temperature dataset which runs from 1850. Dr Colin Morice is a Climate Monitoring and Research Scientist with the Met Office. He said: “2022 was another near-record year for global average temperatures, despite the slight cooling influence of La Niña: a pattern of climate

Study shows human induced climate change made the UK’s record-breaking annual temperature around 160 times more likely.

It is now possible to confirm that 2022 was the UK’s hottest year on record, with an average temperature of over 10°C recorded for the first time. Influence of climate change An attribution study conducted by Met Office scientists has shown that what would have been around a 1-in-500 year annual

, but it will still be very warm and humid where the sun comes out in the south and west of the UK. “In contrast to the last few days, maximum daytime temperatures will be reducing, with only isolated locations seeing temperatures of 30.0°C or above. And some northern and easterns areas much less warm

, temperatures may still reach the mid to high 20s. Conditions will remain humid, particularly in the south, with mostly light winds, though breezier conditions are possible in the far southwest. READ MORE: Climate change impacting the natural world Met Office presenter and meteorologist, Aidan
