a range of climate sensitive sectors, efforts to provide routinely updated quality information face many challenges. At the core of any effective climate services are data. Furthermore, ground observational climate records are essential to produce quality data and reliable climate analysis, short-term

, but the degree of warmth transported during this episode is notable. The arrival of this mild air coincides with a broader trend of increasing winter variability, in which warm spells are appearing more frequently within the UK’s climate record.

long‑term climate records more easily. Each year is broken into four fixed seasons, each lasting three months, which provides a clear framework for analysing changes in temperature, rainfall and sunshine. This consistency makes meteorological spring particularly useful for climate monitoring, long‑term

, but would not be considered exceptional compared to long-term climate records, less severe than 2018 and very much less severe than the exceptional freezing weather of December 2010. Author: Mike Kendon, Met Office National Climate Information Centre Last updated 19/02/2021

an impact on Storm Desmond? Author: Press Office 7 December 2015 The exceptional rainfall in Cumbria over the past few days saw the fall of numerous records and has led many to ask whether it is linked to climate change. The records are based on digitised data going back to the 19th Century. A gauge

Office Scientist Emily Carlisle said: “This winter has seen a typical mix of UK winter weather conditions, with a mix of wet and windy, but also cold and calm conditions. This has resulted in a season where no significant climate records have been broken, but the statistics do mask two high-profile

-bucket rain gauges, which record each time a small bucket fills and tips, providing real-time data for rainfall rate. This combination of manual and automated observations ensures a comprehensive and reliable record of rainfall, supporting everything from daily forecasts to long-term climate monitoring

An international analysis of the global climate for 2016 has been published in the report State of the Climate in 2016, released today by the American Meteorological Society.

It has been widely reported that globally 2016 was one of the two warmest years (along with 2015) in a temperature series stretching back to 1850. However, the report – State of the Climate in 2016 – highlights other key indicators of climate change, such as record high sea-surface temperatures

gridding tool builds climate data records through gridding data points using satellite data to establish missing climate data. This was complemented by training in the use of FACTFIT, a tool allowing users to visualise a downscaled statistical seasonal forecast. These tools are now being used
