 The
Met Office is the
UK’s National Meteorological Service, and is one of the
world’s leading centres for climate research. It provides
around-the-clock weather forecasts and other services within
the UK and internationally. Its key focus is to help societies
make the best use of information on high impact weather events
and the climate when developing their systems and infrastructure.
Its key aim is to help save lives and property.
The Hadley
