• Briefing on Arctic and Antarctic sea ice - July 2025

  Summary Arctic sea ice extent is 2nd lowest on record for the time of year as of 6th July, following well above-average ice loss during June Extent is very low on the Atlantic side of the Arctic but nearer average on the Pacific side Upper air temperatures were above average in many regions near

• Faster CO₂ rise expected in 2019

  With emissions already at a record high, the build-up of carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere will be larger than last year due to a slower removal by natural carbon sinks.

  During 2019 Met Office climate scientists expect to see one of the largest rises in atmospheric carbon-dioxide concentration in 62 years of measurements.  The Met Office  CO₂ forecast is based on a combination of factors including rising anthropogenic emissions and a relative reduction

• Decadal forecast 2016

  Outlook for global climate in the coming years

  ), which makes 2016 one of the warmest two years on record Introduction Decadal forecasts are designed to predict fluctuations in the climate system over the next few years. They take into account natural variability as well as human influences. This is achieved by initialising climate models

  in the climate system, including longer term shifts in both the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), are also contributing. Near record temperatures are predicted during the coming five years, consistent with the 2020 Met Office annual global temperature

• Hottest July day on record for the UK

  Temperatures yesterday reached 38.1°C in southern England, setting a new record for the highest July temperature recorded in the UK.

  The new record was set in Cambridge at 15:37 on Thursday, beating the previous record of 36.7°C set in Heathrow in 2015 and coming close to the all-time UK temperature record of 38.5°C, recorded in Faversham in August 2003. Exceptionally high temperatures have gripped parts of Scotland and much

• Atmospheric carbon dioxide rise to remain too fast to track global climate targets in 2026

  The latest forecast from Met Office scientists indicates that the rate of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) increase this year will remain too fast to meet climate targets outlined for limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
