Met Office Adds £56 Billion to UK Economy

A new independent economic study has concluded that the Met Office will deliver benefits worth £56 billion to the UK economy over the next ten years.

This is equivalent to a return of almost £19 for every £1 of public money spent. The scale of this return underscores the significant economic benefits and value the Met Office delivers to the UK and that the importance of accurate, timely and detailed weather and climate information for government, industry and citizens has never been greater.
