is projected to experience delayed rainfall onsets, influencing the timing and extent of the rainy season. The Sahel is a dynamic region, experiencing large population growth, urbanisation and economic transformation. Climate projections and climate change impacts assessments can only ever provide

Met Office Global and Regional Ensemble Prediction System – UK (MOGREPS-UK) DESCRIPTION The flagship Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) model developed and used at the Met Office, is the Unified Model, the same model is used for both weather and climate prediction. For weather forecasting the Met

.  Following the recording of consecutive tropical nights in July last year, the Met Office completed an attribution study examining the influence of human induced climate change on the probability of recording consecutive tropical nights in July last year. The scientists found the chance

July 2018 - A simple tool to study the effect of future emission reduction measures on air quality and climate change has been developed by scientists at the Met Office Hadley Centre.

, the impacts it has. On a day-to-day basis, the weather has a profound influence on background pollution and the frequency of episodes. Climate change projections are therefore important in shaping our long-term ambitions to reduce the health and environmental impacts of air pollution. UKCP18 provides
