Climate science involves the development of climate datasets based on observations; the use of these datasets in climate change monitoring and attribution and the use of Earth System Models to make future predictions from months to centuries into the future.   Most recent Hadley Centre Technical

The UK climate is monitored by analysing surface observations and placing recent extreme weather events in their historical context.

The National Climate Information Centre (NCIC) generates climate information and statistics using UK surface observations. Techniques are developed to generate long data series for the UK and its regions and to present data, e.g. as maps. Many of the outputs are made available on our UK climate

The Met Office national climate series are constructed from the HadUK-Grid dataset. This dataset and these series are updated annually as a new release. This page provides a reference to the legacy versions of the climate series for users who may wish to compare or analyse the changes that have

The Met Office Climate Services Week 2022 is taking place from 9-13 May. The inaugural event was held in 2017.

Why are we hosting Climate Services Week? We want to celebrate the great progress our climate services and science communities have made during recent years in understanding decision-making requirements and turning the science into useable and useful tools and information. This is helping people

region, there is either a National Meteorological Service (NMS) or a National Meteorological and Hydrological Service (NHMS). NMS or NMHSs are responsible for observing the weather and keeping climate records, forecasting the weather at various timescales and for developing and delivering forecast

in developed countries than for countries in the global south. Confidence in climate attribution analysis relies on high quality observational records, climate models’ abilities to simulate a particular type of event, and scientific understanding of how natural variability and climate change may influence

2024 was the warmest year on record globally and the first year that was likely more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels: a stark reminder global temperatures are continuing to rise.
