, 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

Record any concrete actions under this strategy element in the corresponding table row in the worksheet (3

. The availability of station data records across the UK has changed considerably over time. In order to produce spatially complete and homogenous national climate monitoring the station climate records are interpolated onto a uniform grid to produce gridded daily and monthly climate datasets along with reference

anticyclones which can bring long spells of warm weather and create heatwave conditions. The summer heatwave of 2022 was unprecedented and marked a milestone in UK climate history with 40°C being recorded for the first time in the UK and new national records set in Wales, Scotland and England. Summer weather

Atlas of Mortality and Economic Losses from Weather, Climate and Water Extremes reports Africa recorded 1,695 weather, water and climate related disasters, resulting in 731,747 lives lost and US$ 38.5 billion economic losses, from 1970 to 2019. The Weather and Climate Information Services (WISER

Witnessing the highest UK temperature for the months of February, July, and provisionally December, 2019 was a year of multiple records, concluding a record-breaking decade.

The decade 2010-2019 The decade 2010 to 2019 holds eight [note one December record from 2019 is still pending verification] high UK temperature records, compared with only one low-temperature record in the set of official Met Office UK climate extremes. Dr Mark McCarthy, head of the National
