• NEMO: a numerical ocean model

  support to operations at sea (for example, search and rescue) to understanding the role of the ocean in the Earth’s climate system. As the ocean sits beneath the atmosphere, sea-surface temperature patterns have widespread impact on the weather over land. Largely because two-thirds of the Earth

There is currently a La Niña in the tropical Pacific: the third in three successive years. Julian Heming added: “Leon-Eline and its associated flooding happened at the end of a very

• When does Autumn start? Defining seasons

  happening in nature, which is after all how most of us understand the notion of seasons. So comes the third method, which is based on phenology – the process of noting the signs of change in plant and animal behaviour. In this distinction, Autumn may be deemed to have arrived at the first tinting

• Climate change is happening. We can see it in our observations. But adaptation to climate change needs to keep up with the weather

  Climate Service is publicly available and funded by Defra.  As a second example, the Met Office is working with the Department for Education to help map risks from present and future climate change, for example around how heatwaves might affect school buildings.   And as a third example, the Met Office

  ) During the third KRCS SDT meeting towards the end of 2016, KRCS reported that drought was becoming serious in the Kilifi and Tana River counties and described their operational triggers for intervention and associated relief activities. Drought was occurring mainly where the March-May season had been

  , but a call to action.” Sea level rise Tide gauge records since the 1900s provide observational evidence that sea level rise around the UK is accelerating, with two-thirds of the observed sea level rise over that period happening in just over the last three decades. For the first time this report highlights

• Summer 2026 provisionally hottest on record for the UK

  for some, it did little to make a dent in the overall dryness of summer compared to average. The UK’s third driest July on record – with England seeing its driest July on record – was notable, but late August rainfall has pushed summer rainfall totals away from any national records, though rainfall

• Operational satellite a ‘landmark moment’ for weather forecasts

  forecasts Author: Press Office Wed 4 Dec 2024 Meteosat’s Third Generation Imager (MTG-I1) satellite will now be referred to as Meteosat-12, marking a shift to its now operational use in weather forecasting. Imagery from the new Meteosat-12 is officially becoming available to operational meteorologists

  range of meteorological variables such as temperature, precipitation and wind. Stations meet varying needs across the UK, such as long-term climate monitoring, site-specific temperature and wind measurements for customers, and a dense rainfall network – which includes data from third-party sources
