Writing in the journal Nature ahead of COP28 a team of Met Office scientists has emphasised, surprisingly, there is currently no formally agreed way of defining the current level of global warming relevant to the Paris Agreement.

They have proposed a solution. While the global average temperature in a particular year is well-known, this will not be suitable as an indicator of whether the “Paris 1.5” has been breached or not, because the Paris Agreement refers to long-term warming, not individual years. But no alternative

. The café started with the ED NECJOGHA, Mr Patrick Luganda making introductory remarks where he welcomed participants and explained what a café is about. He explained that a café is a public discourse on the weather, climate and climate services especially climate forecasting services from end user

temperature forecast. Professor Adam Scaife is the Met Office head of long-range prediction. He said: “Natural events – such as El Niño-induced warming in the Pacific – influence the climate system, but in the absence of El Niño, this forecast gives a clear picture of the strongest factor causing

is a Senior Scientist at the Met Office Hadley Centre, and co-edited the global climate chapter of the report. He said: “Despite 2017’s surface temperatures not breaking the absolute record, the fact that it is following the pattern of one warm year after another is concerning and we are seeing

temperature on 13 October was 26.5 °C at Donna Nook (Lincolnshire). This fell well short of the UK October record of 29.9 °C on 1 October 2011, but nevertheless was unseasonably warm so late in the year. The maps below show daily maximum temperature anomalies on 13 and 14 October 2018. Minimum

As the planet warms, the intensity, frequency and duration of extreme weather events such as heatwaves and heavy rainfall is expected to increase.

Although there will be a bit of a split in the weather over the coming days, much of England and Wales will see bright and dry conditions with sunny spells. Temperatures will reach the mid 20˚Cs across the south where it will feel quite warm with light winds. Further north, Scotland, Northern

Following on from a week of contrasts, with increasingly warmer conditions spreading north eastwards across the UK following below-average temperatures earlier in the week. Temperatures are on the rise as we head into the weekend 📈 especially across the south as mild air is drawn up from

In a paper published today [Monday 3 April, 2017] climate scientists at the Met Office Hadley Centre have shown that the early mitigation needed to limit eventual warming below potentially dangerous levels has a climate ‘payback’

Change – investigates how quickly benefits of mitigation could be realised through any reduction in the occurrence of extreme seasonal temperatures over land. The team focussed on model results from future scenarios of a rapidly-warming world: one without any action to reduce emissions; and one
