2022 will be the warmest year on record for the UK, according to provisional Met Office figures.

and a verification process.   2022 will also be the warmest year on record in the 364-year Central England temperature series from 1659, the world’s longest instrumental record of temperature.  Dr Mark McCarthy is the head of the Met Office’s National Climate Information Centre. He said: “2022 is going

The UK’s climate has continued to warm, with 2020 the first year to have temperature, rain and sunshine rankings all in the top 10.

The latest analysis of the UK climate, State of the UK Climate 2020 published in The Royal Meteorological Society’s ‘International Journal of Climatology’, has shown that climate change is already being felt across the UK. All of the top-ten warmest years for the UK in records back to 1884 have

High quality marine datasets are essential for climate research, both as a record of past and present climate variability, and in constraining models of Earth's

Climate change is causing a dramatic increase in the frequency of temperature extremes and number of temperature records the UK experiences.

in a ‘natural’ environment (without the effects of man-made greenhouse gas emissions) against the likelihood in our current climate. Attribution studies were conducted on the record breaking June monthly temperature, the joint warmest September on record and the year as a whole being the second

to humancaused climate change. Events such as the wettest February on record in 2020 or the record-breaking rainfall seen on 3 October 2020, are expected to become more frequent by 2100 due to climate change. Future climate change is projected to bring about a change in the intensity and seasonality
