Our oceans give us life, regulate our climate, fuel our weather, and hold wonders beyond imagination. It’s time to turn the tide and protect them.

2024 was Europe's warmest year on record, with extreme heat in the east and major floods in the west. Our rapidly changing climate is a clear sign we need to step up adaptation efforts.

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time and having the right data — accessible to all of us — is a must. Luckily the Royal Statistical Society has created a guide to key climate change data.

Our climate is shifting faster than ever, with record-breaking temperatures, melting glaciers, rising sea levels and extreme weather events becoming the new normal. The WMO’s State of the Global Climate 2024 report paints a sobering picture of our planet.

Sudden transitions from drought to flooding or intense heat to harsh cold are becoming more frequent and severe. MetMatters takes a look at our planet’s wild weather swings.

Winter, spring, summer and autumn. If you feel that our seasons have changed over the decades, you’re right. A Climate Central analysis reveals that all four seasons have warmed since 1970, with spring the UK’s fastest-warming season.

A lot has happened since the Royal Meteorological Society was founded, MetMatters takes a look back at some of the significant weather and climate events since 1850.

Kirsty McCabe, Editor of MetMatters, joined weather and climate professionals to share insights, experiences, challenges and innovations in weather forecasting, meteorology and related fields. And of course, we took time out to enjoy the snow.

2025 marks 175 years since the Royal Meteorological Society was founded. MetMatters loves a party, so we’ll be bringing you lots of content to celebrate this major milestone.
