which has seen rapid climate change, partly in response to human influences caused by local, national and global social, economic, industrial, and land use developments. These changes have already had and continue to have impacts on different aspects of society, including health, agriculture, water

to 2010 average extent of 6.38 million km2 Weather More than 150 studies have been carried out looking at whether human influence on the climate contributed to specific extreme weather events. Almost all studies related to extreme heat indicate human influence. This is consistent with IPCC AR5 findings

influence land-atmosphere-hydrology interactions on these timescales and hence have the potential to improve forecasts on daily timescales, help to constrain the divergence of seasonal predictions and improve our understanding of climate change predictions.

Met Office Climate Change Attribution Scientist, Dr Nikos Christidis, said: “Attribution studies examine the influence of climate change on current events and how they could be more likely in the future, depending on future greenhouse gas emissions.

into four quarters. “Looking at longer timescales, our recently updated 30-year averages can show us how ‘normal’ seasons are changing over time, giving us clues about trends in the UK’s climate.” Astronomical definitions of seasons also exist – using the Earth’s position relative to the Sun as the cue

. “Climate change has already influenced the likelihood of temperature extremes in the UK. The chances of seeing 40°C days in the UK could be as much as 10 times more likely in the current climate than under a natural climate unaffected by human influence. The likelihood of exceeding 40°C anywhere in the UK

, with no influence from human induced climate change, an event similar or more extreme would be a 1 in 300 year event, it is now a 1 in 100 year event in the current climate. By 2100 under a medium emissions scenario (SSP2 4.5) that level of extreme daily rainfall could be seen every 30 years, making it 10 times
