In his guest post on @CarbonBrief, @metoffice @markpmcc explains why the UK saw record-breaking rainfall in February, how extreme wet winters are expected to increase in severity in the future and how the UK will need to adapt to a wider range of future #climate conditions.
This is a map you’re going to want to pay attention to. Of our 400 or so river gauges around 25% have broken an all time record in the last decade - the red dots are those that have broken a record just this winter alone. Says it all really #ClimateChange#ClimateEmergency
For most of the world we live in the warmest year on record has been in the last 10 years and the coolest year has been more than 100 years ago.
These maps show when the warmest and coolest years occurred, for many places 2019 was warmest
#dataviz#globalwarming#climatechange
2019 has been a year of extremes. There has been record-breaking heat and rain, as well as notable spells of cold and windy weather.

Earth is warming but not the same everywhere. This #dataviz shows the warming since 1960 at different latitudes.
It shows that in 2016 the Arctic was already 3°C warmer than the 1961-1990 average,
The last decade is more than 2°C warmer!

Understanding the extent of #climatechange across the UK is a key driver for @metoffice science programme. Our climate projections provide detailed information on how the UK climate is likely to change over the next century helping individuals & businesses to take action. #UKCP18
#EarthSystemScience Hourly rainfall over Manaus, Amazon from @MetOffice high resolution convective permitting model. At 4.5km individual showers are seen passing through the region improving the representation of hourly intensity and daily rainfall totals https://t.co/9VHQT146Wc
Climate science has shown that our climate is changing and it is caused by human activity. Now #MetOffice science is addressing questions of exactly how this impacts on society and what we can do about it, led by our #EarthSystemScience team https://t.co/eTgNWQdl7S

An oak tree, because it was always at the start of every food chain we learnt at school!
Read about @BIFoRUoB, which looks at how oak woodland responds to rising CO2:

Our #DataVisualisation expert @neilrkaye has created this #dataviz showing periods of the year with similar temperatures.
Would you have thought that UK average temperatures at the beginning of May are the same as the middle of October?
#Lovelock100 Q. Is it something special and beneficial about living in the South West of England for being a Gaia / Earth System Scientist? A. I do, yes, very much so. (Jim Lovelock answering @_nadineunger )
Tomorrow we’re launching a new schools programme to help young people understand and prepare for the impact of #weather and #climate change on their communities
