This website allows you to explore how different scenarios of global greenhouse gas emissions and adaptation to climate change could change the geography of food insecurity in developing and least-developed countries. By altering the levels of future global greenhouse gas emissions

 droughts, with droughts at least as severe as seen in 2010 increasing by 146%, at a 4.0°C level of global warming and 86% more frequent by 2.0°C.  Lead author Dr Helen Hanlon, said: “Our research clearly shows that the more we warm the planet through human-induced climate change, the more severe weather

Castle (Moray), with 35.6 °C at Bawtry, South Yorkshire on the 2nd being the UK record; this heatwave also set the Scotland record of 32.2 °C at Gordon Castle and the Northern Ireland record of 27.8 °C at Armagh. The 1906 event would appear to be the most notable September heatwave in observational

resulted in a number of other governments looking on with interest. Work on UKCP18 was initiated while I was the director of the Met Office Hadley Centre, so I look on with great pride and satisfaction as it enters the final stages. Release of the different products will take place at different

A new study, led by the UK Met Office, has revealed a very strong likelihood that one of the next five years will be the warmest on record globally, beating the current record year of 2016.   The chance of at least one of the next five year’s exceeding 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels is now about

pressure centred over northern Britain, northern areas had more sunshine than earlier in the month. Until the 27th the month was exceptionally dry, but the last three days saw some heavy falls of rain away from the northeast. The mean temperature for April was provisionally 2.0 °C above the 1981

average levels for at least one year between 2025 and 2029. It is also likely that the five-year mean for 2025-2029 will exceed 1.5°C (70% chance). There is an 80% chance that at least one year between 2025 and 2029 will be warmer than the warmest year on record (currently 2024) and - although

The Met Office, in collaboration with the National Oceanography Centre, have produced a new climate monitoring dataset for surface humidity over oceans. The dataset is called HadISDH.marine which stands for the Met Office Hadley Centre Intergrated Surface Dataset of Humidity for the marine

research collaborations with the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). Since 2013 a forecast of the number of tropical storms reaching hurricane strength (winds at least 74 mph) has also been issued. Method The forecast is made using information from two dynamical global seasonal
