• Met Office and AWS are pioneering how AI could shape the future of text-based weather services

  : “This project marks an important step forward in how we harness the power of AI to maximise the value of our data and intelligence for the public. Critically, this Discovery Pathfinder project isn’t about transforming the Shipping Forecast, it’s something much bigger than that. We are exploring ways

• How is our changing climate affecting nature?

  and increase our resilience to the changing climate, now and in the future.  Nigel said: “We need to do the things we know we can do on a bigger scale, like making our landscapes more natural, making them more flood resilient, and our towns and cities greener.   “Climate change isn’t going to make any

• How does the Met Office forecast snow?

  The UK’s maritime climate plays a big role in limiting snowfall. In winter, land cools quickly, but the surrounding seas remain relatively warm. This moderates the air temperature as it approaches our shores, often turning what could have been snow into rain or sleet. While inland areas of large

• 10-day trend: Wet and mild conditions dominate early December

  of unsettled, wet, and at times windy weather, with only brief colder interludes and little sign of any prolonged wintry conditions. The big picture: Jet stream drives unsettled weather To understand the upcoming weather, it’s important to look at the position and orientation of the jet stream. Currently

• What are heat domes? And are they getting worse?

  . As heatwaves become more intense, forecasting is only one part of the challenge. Effective warning systems and heat action plans help individuals, communities and organisations prepare for dangerous conditions and reduce risks. The bigger picture So, are heat domes getting worse? The answer is nuanced

• Is it going to be a long, hot summer?

  you can see a near average summer is also still a possibility.    Whilst there are no strong signals for rainfall this summer, whatever the outcome, figures for the UK as a whole can hide big regional variations. Therefore, even if rainfall turns out to be near average for the country overall, we

• Reducing emissions through the Devon Carbon Plan

  to inspire Devon to think big about a net-zero future, helping DCC to spur action beyond the organisation. The Net Zero Visions mural on the Sustainability Hub, University of Plymouth Partnerships DCC is an active part of several partnerships across the county. As mentioned, DCC provides the secretariat

• Why have there been so many storms in the UK this year?

  thing that is clear from observations is that there’s big variability year-to-year in the number and intensity of storms that impact the UK. This large variability is related to the UK’s location at the edge of continental Europe and relatively small geographic size, so small changes

• What do meteorologists do at the Met Office?

  of changes in the likes of temperature, cloud cover, and many other factors, and updating the forecast accordingly.  READ MORE: Met Office weather stations: How we measure the weather Because the atmosphere is ‘chaotic’ in nature, even tiny changes in its current state can have big influences

• Seamless decision-making for climate adaptation

  , and for sectors likely to be affected in a big way by the future changes to weather that we will see under climate change, this is an imperative. With more extreme weather events, we are going to need change the way we do or build things, to adapt to the changing climate. We are going to need
