), which makes 2016 one of the warmest two years on record. These high global temperatures are consistent with continued high levels of greenhouse gases and big changes that are currently underway in the climate system. Introduction Decadal forecasts are designed to predict fluctuations in the climate

Weather | Amazing aurora Activity steps But space weather forecasts are not only important for aurora-watching. When the solar wind is really strong, the charged particles can also interact with all sorts of technology, both here on Earth and out in space (slide 11). A big space weather event can cause

of something special for you’. I was so nervous that I didn’t look beyond the instrument panel at first, so completely missed the ‘big moment’ we became airborne, only realising we were up as we suddenly banked to the left and I found myself staring down a wing now pointing at a line of cars a few hundred

Alex Burkill After completing degrees in both Maths and then Meteorology, Alex came to the Met Office to be trained up as a Meteorologist and has been working here for several years. He always had an interest in the weather since wanting to touch a cloud as a child, and the weather has played a big

the Met Office and our partners. Using cloud-scale computing and big data our experts are leading research into AI-based systems for forecasting UK weather. Progress in this area is also timely. Ever-increasing weather extremes and growing climate change impacts means we can draw together our combined

The review meetings will also help projects prepare for Strategy Testing (see above) by supporting project teams to approach their MEL work with a more critical mindset

is really strong, the charged particles can also interact with all sorts of technology, both here on Earth and out in space (slide 11). A big space weather event can cause power cuts, it can stop satellites working and it can knock-out many types of communications. This is why it’s really important
