• Met Office explains: Why the waters around the UK are unique

  when weather records are broken? These dynamic conditions make UK waters a focal point for advanced oceanographic modelling and forecasting. Scientists use coupled ocean-atmosphere models to study how tidal currents influence climate projections. Collaborations with institutions like the Plymouth

• What caused the record UK winter rainfall of 2013-14?

  Climate change made a secondary contribution by increasing the moisture holding capacity of the atmosphere. The winter of 2013-14 will be remembered for many years for remarkably widespread and persistent flooding that affected many parts of England, including the low-lying Somerset moors

• Innovative collaboration at core of new Met Office and National Energy System Operator agreement

  Climate change is already influencing the country’s weather, and this agreement demonstrates a shared commitment to mitigate risks and ensure future resilience of the energy network. This MoU will build on the relationship between the two organisations and reflect the continued importance

• UK and Global extreme events – Heatwaves

  The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change states that “it is unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean and land.” We have already seen average global land temperatures increase over 1 °C since the Industrial Revolution. As a result of this baseline
