In the summer of 2025, it is officially the warmest when the liba is registered in the UK, and the country experiences four separate thermal waves, Met Office reports.
The average temperature of the country from June 1 to August 31 was 16.10 ° C, exceeding a long average value of 1.51 ° C. This exceeds the previous 15.76 ° C, which was registered in 2018.
This year, the famous warm summer of 1976 from the first five warmer from the beginning of the records in 1884 is also replaced. All five warmest summer of the United Kingdom have already occurred since 2000.
Met Office climate analysis shows that one summer, so hotter or warmer than 2025, is now 70 times more likely than in the world without anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases.
Constant heat increases the average values of the UK
The highest registered temperature of this summer was 35.8 ° C in Favressam, Kent. Despite the fact that it is far from a historical maximum of 40.3 ° C of the United Kingdom, which occurred in July 2022, it was a constant heat, which prompted an average united kingdom to record levels in this summer. The United Kingdom lived four separate thermal waves, with several days in each area of temperatures exceeding 30 ° C.
England recorded the warmest June, when the liba was recorded, while Wales saw the third warm and the UK in general in the second war. Two of the four hot waves of this summer occurred only in June.
At the end of the month, scientists from the world weather attribution (WWA), an international team of scientists who analyze the possible influence of climate change on extreme weather phenomena, said that heat burning in southeastern England was done 100 times more often because of climate changeField
This trend continued in July, which was evaluated as the fifth of July in the United Kingdom, when the liba recorded before the fourth heat wave in August, sealing the average record of the season.
“Constant heat this year is due to a combination of factors, including the dominance of high -pressure systems, unusual warm seas around the UK and the territory of the dry spring,” says Dr. Met Emily Carlisle.
“These conditions have created an environment in which heat grows quickly and remains, and the maximum and minimum temperatures are much higher than on average.”
This summer there was also a significant absence of precipitation. Throughout the UK, the amount of precipitation was only 84% of the long average. England, in particular, faced the fact that officials called the “national” lack of water. Farmers faced significant failures in cultures, and in most of the country they were limited to water use, since tanks, rivers and groundwater reserves.
Climate change does summer in the UK hot?
The study of the quick result conducted by Met Office Climate shows that in today’s climate one summer or hotter than 2025 is 70 times more often than in the world without anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases.
Dr. Mark McCarthy, the head of the climate department at Met Office, explained that such a summer will happen once every 340 years in a pre -industrial climate, but now it is expected about every five years.
Dr. McCarthy also stated that in the summer of 2025 he broke the records, even warmer summer Now they are possible, given today’s heating trends. “What was considered extreme in the past is becoming more and more common in our changing climate,” he said.
This follows the previous Met Office forecasts. In 2019, scientists calculated that one summer, similar to 2018, can be expected every eight or nine years under today’s heating level. In the summer of 2025, this record was broken after seven years, according to the conclusions of scientists.
Met Office says that climate change is currently reminiscent of what is considered excellent summer weather in the UK. What was once considered excellent, he adds, is becoming more and more typicalField
