, where 36.3 °C was recorded at Cranwell, setting a new record for the climate district of England E & NE. The panel of maps below show daily maximum temperatures from 22 to 26 July 2019, indicating the duration and spatial extent of the heatwave. Temperatures exceeded 30 °C widely across much central

Human-induced climate change has made the 2018 record-breaking UK summer temperatures about 30 times more likely than it would be naturally, the Met Office will say at CoP24 - in Poland – later today (6 December 2018).

Professor Peter Stott is a world-leading expert on climate attribution based at the Met Office and the University of Exeter in the UK. He said: “Our provisional study compared computer models based on today’s climate with those of the natural climate we would have had without human-induced
