Last month, a group of experts led by the Met Office’s Professor Rowan Sutton and Professor Peter Stott published a comment article in the journal Nature calling for a global assessment of avoidable climate change risks to help governments and citizens understand the urgency of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Professor Rowan Sutton, Director of the Met Office Hadley Centre, said: “Humanity still has the opportunity to avoid the worst impacts of climate change and shape a more prosperous, liveable future. A global assessment of avoidable climate change risks would enable political leaders and citizens to fully understand what is at stake and motivate us all to seize that opportunity - while we still have it.”

We are pleased to share the outcomes of our latest consultation on our UK Climate Projections (UKCP18) service. Participants from government, industry, academia and a range of sectors provided valuable insight into how UKCP18 is used, the challenges faced and how user needs are changing. Now we’re designing a major update to UKCP18 to meet needs for future UK climate information and support adaptation.

Providing you with evidence-based information on climate science.
 The launch of the first dedicated weather satellites in the 1960s marked a profound shift in our ability to observe, analyse and predict the weather, transforming our ability to monitor the atmosphere on a global scale. As well as providing data for weather prediction and more, they also provide crucial data for climate monitoring, including long-term changes in temperature, humidity and atmospheric composition.
