virtually in a stagnant state over the influencing region. Hence, those parts of the Earth’s surface where air masses can stagnate and gradually attain the properties of the underlying surface are called air mass source regions. The main source regions are the high pressure belts in the subtropics

Climate change and impacts (12-14 years) Session 3 – Climate change and impacts Summary In this session, take a closer look at what climate change may mean for the UK and around the world. Is the future of climate change already decided? No! Find out how we can make some simple changes to reduce

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.

It is time now for everyone to listen to that science.” The IPCC’s Working Group I (WGI)* report highlights that the human influence on the climate is already affecting all regions of the planet and changing the frequency and intensity of weather extremes, from extreme rainfall and associated

, while the previous top three Junes were separated by just 0.1°C. Fingerprint of climate change A rapid study by Met Office scientists found the chance of observing a June beating the previous record of 14.9°C, like we have this year, has at least doubled since the period around 1940. The previous

circulations of the oceans. Examples of this kind of variability over years include major influencing systems like El Niño or the Indian Ocean Dipole. This natural variability imposes changes to the climate over a period of years or decades around some climate average. Seasonal Modelling Weather forecasts
