  to 2010 average extent of 6.38 million km2 Weather More than 150 studies have been carried out looking at whether human influence on the climate contributed to specific extreme weather events. Almost all studies related to extreme heat indicate human influence. This is consistent with IPCC AR5 findings

• The UK land observation network: Underpinning weather and climate understanding

  observations and forecasts Site selection: Minimising local influences Accurate weather and climate observations depend heavily on where stations are located. To ensure data is representative of the broader region’s conditions, station siting follows strict criteria. The ideal location is level

• 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

  States. UK & North Europe impacts El Niño is just one of several climate drivers influencing weather patterns in Europe and the UK. Its impacts here in the UK are typically indirect, but it can increase the likelihood of more unsettled conditions later in the year, including a higher chance of milder

• 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.
