of Climate, also found that increasing greenhouse gas emissions are associated with increases in extreme rainfall events. As our atmosphere warms due to human induced climate change, it can hold more moisture. For every 1°C of warming the atmosphere can hold between 6-7% more moisture. This has

A new study has found climate change has influenced how much rain falls during autumn and winter storms.

Human-induced climate change made the heavy storm downpours and total rainfall across the UK and Ireland between October 2023 and March 2024 more frequent and intense, according to a rapid attribution analysis by an international team of leading climate scientists. The 2023-24 storm season has been

ASPIRE – Adaptive Social Protection - Information for Enhanced Resilience Overview • ASPIRE will integrate climate information into social protection decision making in the Sahel so that it can become responsive to climate shocks. For example, increasing regular cash payments to vulnerable

A new international study has revealed climate change is contributing to an increase in wildfires worldwide, despite human interventions trying to temper this trend.

The study - led by a team of scientists from the Met Office and Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB)  -compares wildfire models with and without the effects of climate change. It shows that in many regions the frequency and intensity of wildfires is increasing, especially in sensitive ecosystems

Time is short to avert the worst impacts of climate change, but the report also reminds us there is no scientific reason to delay action.

: “This report paints the starkest picture yet of the global and regional impacts of climate change. Time is short to avert the worst impacts of climate change, but the report also reminds us there is no scientific reason to delay action. The case is clear. More focussed projections of future climate change

As an international leader in weather and climate science, we are a long-standing, trusted provider of data to organisations across the globe. The Met Office has been the UK’s National Meteorological Service since 1854, so has a detailed and expert understanding of collecting, generating, verifying

HadCM3 is a coupled climate model that has been used extensively for climate prediction, detection and attribution, and other climate sensitivity studies.

HadCM3 stands for the Hadley Centre Coupled Model version 3. It was developed in 1999 and was the first unified model climate configuration not to require flux adjustments (artificial adjustments applied to climate model simulations to prevent them drifting into unrealistic climate states). HadCM3

A United Nations global campaign launched today sees children calling for pledges to help prevent the worst impacts of climate change.

Jack, 9, take on the role of weather forecaster. The campaign launches ahead of World Meteorological Day on Saturday and follows this week’s WMO State of the Global Climate report, which highlighted how through 2023 records were once again broken, and in some cases smashed, for greenhouse gas
