that was taken and the impacts this has had. The first impact story, on creating local sea-level projections, explains how impacts included capacity development, managing coastal climate risks and integration into policy. The second, on gridding climate observation records, included details of the capacity

The Met Office global temperature forecast suggests that 2019 will be close to record warmth due to climate change and the added effect of El Niño-related warming in the Pacific.

The Met Office global temperature forecast suggests that 2019 will be close to record warmth due to climate change and the added effect of El Niño-related warming in the Pacific. The Met Office forecasts the global average temperature for 2019 to be between 0.98 °C and 1.22 °C, with a central

Climate change is shortening the odds on record breaking June monthly temperature in western Europe.

. Projections for the future  In addition, by using climate projections, the team were able to calculate that unless action is taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions globally, by 2100 in a medium emissions scenario (SSP2 4.5) heatwaves of the magnitude recorded in 2003 could happen every two

Wettest February on record and 5th wettest Winter.

for Flood Risk Management at the Environment Agency said: “Record February rainfall and river levels have tested the nation’s flood defences; however we have been able to protect over 80,000 homes thanks to the action we have taken. “Every flooded home is a personal tragedy, and with a changing climate we

2023 was provisionally the second warmest year on record for the UK, with Wales and Northern Ireland having their respective warmest years in a series from 1884.

temperatures have been shifting over the decades as a result of human-induced climate change. The trend in UK climate observations is consistent with that observed globally: 2023 is on track to be Earth’s warmest year on record, while carbon dioxide concentrations in our atmosphere are at their highest

The map shows the current network of automatic (synoptic) and manual (climate) stations covering the UK.

Climate observations from around 140 co-operating observers at manual climate stations are also received in slower time. All climate stations record daily maximum and minimum air temperature
