implementing and delivering our own net zero target. Even given strenuous efforts to limit the cause of global warming, further climatic changes are inevitable in the future and the UK will need to manage the growing risks from climate change. To adapt and build resilience, up-to-date, credible and robust

in Africa. The paper distinguishes between ecological effects—such as temperature and rainfall changes affecting mosquito lifecycles—and disruptive impacts from intensified extreme weather events like floods and cyclones. The Met Office’s Dr Matt Palmer is a co-author of the study. He said: “Using 25

Variability Modelling. He said: “A typical El Niño temporarily adds about 0.2C to average global temperature. “This increase is dwarfed by the 1.2C that we have seen from climate change since the Industrial Revolution but added to that human-induced warming a new global temperature record is likely before

forecaster; providing consistent, trusted information, even during calmer weather. “Our forecasting capability helped predict the unusually warm weather in May, as well as getting to the local details of warnings for fog, ice, rain and thunderstorms.” “Weather models have demonstrated remarkable capability

June 2022 The averaging period used for the following assessment was 1991-2020. The weather during much of June was mostly quiet and uneventful, though with a warm spell in mid-month which peaked on the 17th giving the warmest day of the year so far. It was showery at times, especially just after

are not affected by the update: the UK is projected to have hotter, drier summers and warmer wetter winters. However, we have updated this to reflect the updated data values, namely statements: 3.1.2 on the range of summer and winter temperatures in 2070 3.1.3 on the increased chance of seeing

) has been on average 0.3 °C warmer than the 1981-2010 average and 0.8 °C warmer than 1961-1990. Air and ground frost l The numbers of air and ground frosts in 2016 were below average for the year overall but not exceptionally so. l The most recent decade (2007-2016) has had 7% fewer days of air frost

by demonstrating the cross government need for new supercomputing capacity. MV said that he would be leaning in on support for the HPC. JP stated that it would be good for others to write in too. It was agreed that the Secretariat would agree with the sponsorship team at BEIS an approach for getting certain

of sunshine from the 22nd to 27th inclusive, with warm days and cold nights. During this spell, slowmoving fronts often brought more cloud and some rain to north-western Britain. A northerly outbreak brought wintry showers to eastern areas on the 28th, followed by mostly dry but relatively cloudy weather

figures, and many will have seen more in their gardens or local parks. The variability across the country has been striking, with some regions facing severe disruption, especially Aberdeenshire, while others, particularly the Midlands and southeast, have barely seen a flake. The science behind
