Rising seas are irreversible on human time scales and among the most severe consequences of climate change.

, and Germany.  The paper published in Nature Climate Change goes beyond the usual sea level projections by quantifying how much sea-level rise in 2300 will be “locked in” by emissions this century. By isolating the effect of near- and mid-term emissions, the study provides a direct link between today’s

As an organisation the Met Office has not been immune to the impacts of COVID-19 and the measures taken to control it. Many observations that are used

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

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
