Storm Éowyn. Met 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

August 2018 - Last year was another year when the levels of dominant greenhouse gases reached new peaks in the instrumental record.

Last year (2017) was another warm year for the global climate. Although it did not break the global temperature record, it was still the second or third warmest in the instrumental record, warmer than any year before 2015. Notably, 2017 was also the warmest year where the global temperatures were

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

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

average for March. The highest temperature was 24.5°C at Kew Gardens (Greater London) on the 30th. This was only the third day in March in UK climate station records where a temperature of 24°C has been reached in the UK. The previous dates were 29 March 1965 and 29 March 1968 – with the March record

The aim of the CARISSA project was to improve the uptake and use of regional climate change information across South Asia.

observing stations: • Designed to meet the needs of a particular customer; • In the urban environment; • Sited at the top of mountains; • Meeting the requirement for a long climate record. Some supplementary stations provide observations of no more than air temperature, humidity, wind and rainfall

averages at a wide variety of locations over the UK. A long uninterrupted record is essential for this purpose (at least 30 years and preferably longer) and this is achieved at a large number of stations. Some climate stations are automated, sending data in real time, but many rely on an unpaid

A new report by the Met Office, published today, reveals further details about changes in the UK’s climate since the 1960s. The report reveals changes in extreme weather as measured by temperature and rainfall extremes.

. Dr Mark McCarthy is the head of the Met Office’s National Climate Information Centre, the team which produced the report. He said: “Monthly, seasonal and annual climate data provide a valuable record of the changing climate in the UK. However, these average figures have a tendency to mask extreme
