to the climatological mean. This happens because the local weather is influenced by larger scale processes in the climate, known as climate drivers, which influence regional and local climate over different timescales. The El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) are two main drivers

0.8°C warmer than the July average, while in contrast East Lothianshire has been -0.8°C cooler than the average. Climate Scientist Mike Kendon said: “Overall it hasn’t been a remarkable month for weather, however when you look more locally there have been some significant events. It is uncommon

on the global climate system. CO2 concentrations in the Keeling Curve record first reached 348 ppm, 25% above pre-industrial levels, in 1986.  Professor Betts added: “The human-caused build-up of CO2 in the atmosphere is accelerating. It took over 200 years for levels to increase by 25%, but now just over 30

levels then decline over the rest of the century in that scenario. The human emissions driving this fall rapidly, reaching net zero mid-century and becoming negative after that.   Although the long-term rise in CO2 concentrations comes from human-induced activities, nature also has an influence

Environmental Policy Introduction The Met Office is a world leading provider of weather, climate and environmental information to the public, government and business. This helps us to stay safe, thrive and take better decisions about the environment. Equally, as a force for good, we take our own
