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

Causes of changes to different aspects of the climate system are attributed to human and/or natural influences.

Observations contain information about how climate has varied. Climate models provide the facility to investigate the impact of different influences on climate, including both anthropogenic and natural factors, and to determine the level of variability that would still exist in the climate system
