are an important influence on regional climate in many areas. Simulating changes in river flows We calculated the streamflows in major river basins 1 using the JULES land surface model which takes meteorological factors such as precipitation, temperature and humidity as inputs.

Office’s Dr Nick Dunstone, who has led the 2023 global temperature forecast, said: “The global temperature over the last three years has been influenced by the effect of a prolonged La Niña – where cooler than average sea-surface temperatures occur in the tropical Pacific. La Niña has a temporary cooling

is inextricably linked to climate change’ The proof is in the model Met Office Hadley Centre scientists use a sophisticated computer model to simulate natural factors (e.g. the Sun, volcanic activity) affecting climate change from 1850 to the present — and then compare the model’s output against real-life
