  ARRCC Impact Story Gridding climate observation records in Pakistan Motivation Observational weather and climate records in Pakistan are underexploited in climate analysis and modelling because individual records (point data) are not easily compared to gridded (spatially interpolated) climate data

• UK Climate Change in action

  Met Office heatwave thresholds are to be updated ahead of Summer 2022 as the UK sees impacts due to climate change.

  , which manages the UK’s climate records. He said: “Climate statistics over time reveal an undeniable warming trend for the UK. Temperature rise has been greatest across parts of central and eastern England where they have increased by more than 1.0°C in some locations, while further north areas

• Dataset development

  We create datasets and analyses of physical atmospheric and oceanic variables to understand and monitor global climate variability and change.

  Observations for a particular climate variable, such as sea surface temperature, are collected from many different observing systems, quality checked and brought together to obtain the best possible description of the climate. Changes in observing systems can have large effects on climate records

• Charting the UK's changing climate

  Over the last 60 years the UK’s climate has been shifting because of climate change.

  , Nottinghamshire, Rutland, Shetland, Staffordshire, County Antrim and County Londonderry. In line with World Meteorological Organization guidelines, climate is measured against 30-year ‘averaging’ periods. Known as ‘climate normal’ periods, these act as a benchmark against which the observational records

• UK will have its hottest June on record

  June 2023 is on track to be the hottest June on record in a series which goes back to 1884.

  ’s position in the weather and climate records will be published on Monday 3 July, including confirmation on any provisional records for other regions of the UK. This will include provisional rainfall and sunshine data for the full month. What impact has climate change had? Climate change increases

• Reflecting on an historic spell for weather and climate

  An historic day for weather and climate in the UK. That’s the view from Met Office scientists and forecasters as they review this week's extreme record-breaking temperatures.

  of the Met Office National Climate Information Centre. He said: “This week has been a remarkable week for the UK’s climate. “We have seen temperature records tumbling. A new UK national climate temperature record should be a rare occurrence, and we would normally expect a new record to only exceed

• Met Office report details rising likelihood of UK hot days

  New study highlights how UK heatwaves could become longer and hotter due to escalating climate trends.

  on record. There were significant impacts, including wildfires, disruptions to transport and power systems, and increased mortality.  The approach taken in the study, called UNSEEN, uses a global climate model to create a large set of plausible climate outcomes in the current climate. This allows

• When does Autumn start? Defining seasons

  , October and November, and so on. Of course, this is fairly arbitrary, but provides a consistent basis for the Met Office, as the holder of the UK’s national weather and climate records, to calculate long term averages and provide seasonal climate summaries from year to year. Mike Kendon, of the Met

• Consensus needed on Paris Agreement 1.5 °C guard rail

  to be the warmest on record. The year is likely to exceed the level reached in 2016; currently the warmest year on record. 2023 is expected to continue the run of the warmest years on record since 1850. Beginning in 2015, the series includes years at both ends of natural climate variability. Some

• A milestone in UK climate history

  A new event summary from the Met Office shows that the UK’s recent extreme heat was far more intense and widespread than previous comparable heatwaves. This was the first time 40°C has been recorded in the UK.

  of long term climate records. “What’s particularly notable is how much more widespread the heat was from this event than the previous two occurrences of temperatures in excess of 38°C in the UK. Temperature records tend to get broken by modest amounts and by just a few stations, but the recent heat
