Understanding more about the future intensity of hourly rainfall and daytime extreme temperatures are two factors vital to the resilience of the UK in a world increasingly impacted by climate change.

Today [Monday 16 September 2019], Defra, BEIS, Met Office and the Environment Agency are launching the highest-ever resolution of climate projections produced for the UK: for the first time on a par with the resolution used for weather forecasting. The launch complements the other products already

Likely Likely Likely Very Likely Climate Outlook Asia: August to May Overview 5 Global Outlook - Rainfall Outlook: Similar to predicted temperature variation, the rainfall patterns over the next 3-6 months are expected to be strongly influenced by the ongoing mature La Niña event across the tropical

Niña’s influence will also extend further north and south (see also the precipitation section). Consistent with long-term climate change, many parts of the globe are likely to see above normal temperatures over the next three months. However, one of the key characteristics of La Niña is a cooling

Niña is ongoing across 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 northern hemisphere spring. As is typical due to climate

August 2019 - New sea level projections developed by the Met Office Hadley Centre have been published in a report by the Environment Agency. They show continued rise beyond 2100 under all climate change scenarios.

Sea level rise is the dominant driver of increased coastal flood risk, both historically and in future projections of climate change. Individual UK flood events are usually associated with extreme weather conditions, particularly the generation of storm surges, which can be compounded by the action

These maps show the areas of greatest concern for experiencing severe climate-related impacts at 4°C global warming relative to pre-industrial levels (1850-1900).

related to insufficient quantity of food and therefore undernourishment or hunger. While this indicator is purely related to present-day vulnerability factors, it is important to note that food production is closely influenced by climate hazards such as drought, heat stress, flooding and fire.
