the HILL-1 scenario is summarised in Figure HILL1-2. Confidence is based on the degree of evidence (from observations, theory and models) and the agreement amongst the sources of evidence. For this scenario, most of the evidence comes from climate model simulations using RCP8.5 emissions scenarios

saw gusts of around 60-70 knots across the region. The direction of the wind is defined as the direction from which the wind is blowing. As Atlantic depressions pass the UK the wind typically starts to blow from the south or south-west, but later comes from the west or north-west as the depression

CO2 concentrations are to follow those in the SSP1-1.9 scenario, the rate of rise will need to slow rapidly over the next 2 decades and come to a halt in the early 2040s (Figure 4). The average CO2 rise over the 2020s would need to be similar to that forecast here for 2022 (Table 4), but since

of a changing climate to create a more resilient, equitable, and prosperous world for generations to come.  Addressing these challenges requires us to focus on building strong partnerships within the wider climate science community to facilitate the sharing of expertise, skills, and capabilities

to help predict tropical cyclone landfall risk along the coasts of Eastern and Southern China. At the Met Office, the seasonal forecasting system, GloSea5, has shown high skill for predictions of tropical cyclone landfall risk in East Asia. This skill comes from the ability of the forecast model

Precipitation type What is this? This layer shows the type of precipitation forecast over the next seven days, including rain, snow, sleet, hail and freezing rain. Freezing rain is rain that freezes when it comes into contact with surfaces that are below 0C which can result in very icy conditions. Data

users’ evolving requirements in a rapidly changing world. The investment by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology in this new capacity comes at a crucial time. 2024 was the warmest year on record globally and likely the first calendar year when global mean temperatures exceeded 1.5

This is a natural key success factor for a good strategic planning approach, when it comes to initial dialogue on data
