• 2024: record-breaking watershed year for global climate

  exceeded the previous warmest year – 2016 - by 0.17°C, making 2024 and 2023 the warmest and second-warmest years on record.   A number of global climate centres will be releasing their 2024 average temperature figures today.  The latest figures highlight how the world is getting closer to breaching

• New global temperature records on the horizon

  That is the finding from the World Meteorological Organization’s (WMO) latest report: the Global Annual to Decadal Climate Update published today. The report, which has been produced by the Met Office for the WMO, also cites there is a two-in-three chance that global average temperature in at least

  Rising seas are irreversible on human time scales and among the most severe consequences of climate change.

  , and Germany.  The paper published in Nature Climate Change goes beyond the usual sea level projections by quantifying how much sea-level rise in 2300 will be “locked in” by emissions this century. By isolating the effect of near- and mid-term emissions, the study provides a direct link between today’s

• Resolving detail on the future face of extreme weather

  Understanding more about the future intensity of hourly rainfall and daytime extreme temperatures are two factors vital to the resilience of the UK in a world increasingly impacted by climate change.

  Today [Monday 16 September 2019], Defra, BEIS, Met Office and the Environment Agency are launching the highest-ever resolution of climate projections produced for the UK: for the first time on a par with the resolution used for weather forecasting. The launch complements the other products already

• Warmest spring on record for England and Wales – third warmest for UK

   May, with long-standing May records broken in several locations.  “While individual weather events are influenced by natural variability, our climate attribution studies show that the likelihood of exceeding UK May temperature records has increased significantly as the climate warms, meaning

The overall long-term warming as a result of greenhouse gases is now far larger than the year-to-year variability caused by naturally occurring climate drivers”, said WMO Secretary-General, Prof. Petteri
