is responsible for the leadership and management of people in the Climate Monitoring and Attribution group who develop observed climate data sets and use them to monitor the current state of the climate and evaluate climate models. The team produces homogeneous records of climate variability and change

geographic spread of extreme heat. The Met Office’s long-term climate records and rolling averages confirm this warming trend. The Met Office 2023 State of the UK Climate report provided new analysis on this change, highlighting how temperature extremes and records are most affected by the UK’s changing

and heatwaves are very apparent in the climate records of recent decades, the large variability in our rainfall means that it is too soon to be able to detect the pattern in summer rainfall.”  Persistent high pressure has not only brought a lot of dry weather this month, it has also resulted in a warmer

Observational climate records are available from meteorological stations across the Philippines since about the 1950s, although

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

Furthermore, ground observational climate records are essential to produce quality data and reliable climate analysis, short-term
