Climate extremes such as high temperatures or drought can have major impacts on society and place a spotlight on our preparedness for and resilience to such events. Having good estimates of their current likelihood feeds into an improved assessment of risk, which in turn informs planning and policy

-class standard of the Met Office, with its unified weather and climate model. • This figure excludes the value of the Met Officeʼs international influence, as this, although important, is difficult to quantify and was not in the scope of the Review. It also excludes the value that the Met Officeʼs

The UKCR climate services upscaling approach This approach includes a series of steps for climate service providers to follow when planning their upscaling. These steps consist of activities, discussion topics, and questionnaires. Further information and a detailed toolkit is available on the Met

attendance should be a baseline going forward not just a one off. Participants need to influence gender equity when they get back to their institutions - the processes to achieve this are required to ensure that people who attend GHACOF promote inclusivity. Balanced communication of climate

the tropical Pacific. La Niña will be the main driver of temperature and rainfall anomalies across the tropics over the next three months. La Niña’s influence will also extend further north and south, mainly early in the period. Consistent with long-term climate change, many parts of the globe

in planning for activities influenced by climate, such as agriculture, fishing and livestock farming,” explains Ayub Shaka, KMD National Coordinator for the WISER Western project. The ADA project successfully created forecasts and disseminated them to end users. WISER Western then built on ADA’s

Singapore and the opportunity to influence the scientific work they do. • JH reviewed the TIS investment strategy. • The Climate Security Round Table, organised and hosted by the Met Office was very successful. JH informed the Board it was the first in a planned series. • Brian Hoskins discussed

for September on record is 21.7°C, and this record could be threatened in the coming nights. The Met Office previously completed an attribution study examining the influence of human induced climate change on tropical nights in the UK, which is explored in this newly-published blog.   Heat Health

The temperature data published by the WMO - in their provisional 2021 State of the Global Climate report - shows that the period 2002-2021 reached an average of 1.01°C ±0.12 °C. For context, the Paris Agreement aims to limit global warming to well below 2.0 °C, preferably to 1.5 °C. A global

Provisional figures confirm that 2017 was the warmest year on record without the influence of warming from El Niño.

spanning 2015-2016 contributed around 0.2°C to the annual average for 2016, which was about 1.1°C above the long-term average from 1850 to 1900. However, the main contributor to warming over the last 150 years is human influence on climate from increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. 2017 remains
