these. Background Land cover (the physical characteristics of the land surface, including natural, agricultural and urban environments), and the activities taking place on the land, can influence public health in a wide variety of ways. These include: i) direct effects, such as allergic rhinitis related

December 2023 – Working with a local artist and community partners, UK Climate Projections data was turned into music to help engage the Outer Hebrides community in conversations around climate adaptation.

research looking at weather patterns and the UK Climate Projections (UKCP) Global ensemble has indicated that future UK winters would be stormier, particularly under a high emissions scenario. The present-day weather, particularly winter storms already influences daily life, and as such it was important

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

Details of funding awards from the UK Climate Resilience Programme that ran from 2019 to 2023

different climate standards and standardised industry-wide tools related to climate resilience across the sectors to be covered.  Evidence of the level of engagement and influence of the identified standards will help to determine good practice guidance and recommendations for improvements.  May 2019

advances in understanding African climate, particularly in understanding the frequency and intensity of extreme rainfall, of dry spells and other high impact weather events, and how those might change in future. This has improved our understanding of the processes that influence Africa's climate, narrowed

these systems in our simulations. This has applications on short-timescales, such as to inform on compound natural hazards, and on longer climate timescales to capture whole system environmental changes. A recent Met Office led study by Berthou et al, published in the Nature Communications Earth

, including the location of a new data centre and stressed the importance placed on retaining the Centre within the UK. � The Board discussed the Met Office’s influence as a leader in the international meteorological community. � The Board noted that the independent Public Weather Service Customer Group

and in the range of actionable information that they can provide to users. The research that we are doing today may pull through to operational use, for both weather and climate prediction, and deliver further benefits from computing and observational investments through the 2020s and beyond." Prof. Simon
