UK Climate Projections
Description
The UK Climate Projections (UKCP09) provide climate information designed to help those needing to plan how they will adapt to a changing climate. The data is focussed on the UK and is free of charge. The projections are presented for three different future scenarios representing High, Medium and Low greenhouse gas emissions. The types of climate information provided are:
- Observed climate data (20th and 21st century historical information about temperature, precipitation, storminess, sea surface temperatures and sea level)
- Climate change projections (for temperature, precipitation, air pressure, cloud and humidity)
- Marine & coastal projections (for sea level rise, storm surge, sea surface and sub-surface temperature, salinity, currents, and waves).
The portal offers access to various publications on trends and projections.
