Through the WCSSP Programme, researchers around the world are improving our understanding of the current and future climate risks to globally important crops including maize, tea and sugarcane.

Agricultural systems are highly dependent on weather and climate. Through the Weather and Climate Science for Service Partnership (WCSSP) Programme, researchers are developing tools and services that can provide farmers and decision makers with the information they need to manage these risks

The Met Office Hadley Centre supported the Ministry of Defence (MOD) to assess how the future climate might impact their processes and policies.

Some of the ways climate change might impact UK defence include: Increases in extreme temperature, providing challenges for personnel Increased environmental stresses on equipment and infrastructure Increases in extreme UK weather that require military assistance The Ministry of Defence Climate

not be used as a climate index in its own right. The named storms of Gertrude, Henry and Imogen in late January and early February followed the previous storms of Desmond, Eva and Frank in December 2015 which brought record-breaking rainfall and associated extensive and severe flooding during December

The HadGEM2 family of climate models represents the second generation of HadGEM configurations, with additional functionality including a well-resolved stratosphere and Earth System components.

were used in the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The ENSEMBLES project also uses members of this model family. The standard atmospheric component has 38 levels extending to ~40km height, with a horizontal resolution of 1.25 degrees of latitude by 1.875 degrees

This project aims to improve resilience and adaptive capacity of Eastern African countries to the effects of extreme weather, seasonal events and climate change.

Project overview The International Centre for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) are leading the £1.2 million Enhancing Climate Change Resilience in East Africa (ECREA)  project which aims to improve the resilience of people and the adaptive capacity of Eastern African countries to prepare for and respond

Summer 2019 in the UK was record-breaking with a maximum temperature of 38.7 C at Cambridge University Botanic Garden logged on 25 July. That was the highest temperature ever recorded in the UK.

However, one temperature record can’t tell the full story of a season overall. So how did Summer 2019 compare with previous summers? Tim Legg, of the Met Office’s National Climate Information Centre, provides more detail. He said: “Overall Summer 2019 was the twelfth warmest on record since 1910

A new study by the Met Office gives examples of how two of the UK’s most important farming sectors are likely to be impacted by climate change.

The effects of climate change on dairy and potato farming The study – published in Climate Risk Management – examines the effect of climate change on the dairy and potato farming sectors over the next thirty to fifty years. The research found that heat stress in dairy cattle is projected
