The UK has had its fifth warmest July on record, according to provisional Met Office statistics.

it the fifth warmest July since the series began in 1884 and the warmest since 2018. All four UK nations recorded one of their top ten warmest Julys, with Scotland and Northern Ireland ranking sixth, England seventh, and Wales tenth. Regionally, both Shetland and Orkney have had their warmest July’s

Ahead of the Spring Bank Holiday, check out these weather records logged for the late-May bank holiday. 

The final bank holiday in May was traditionally called the Whitsun Bank Holiday and observed on the Monday following Pentecost. Over the years, it has seen a wide range of weather extremes across the UK. In this article, we look back at the UK’s weather records ever logged on this late-May bank

simulations start at year 1850. The likelihood of extreme heatwaves is calculated under four different climatic conditions: the natural climate, represented by all June temperature anomalies extracted from the NAT experiment. The climate of 2003, when the record June temperature was observed, represented

; Arndt et al. 2010). This implies that more moisture is available to form precipitation in extreme events and to provide additional energy to further intensify such events. About two-thirds of locations globally with long, climate-quality instrumental records [e.g., as compiled in the Hadley Centre

are often asked if they ‘believe’ in climate change. For those at the Met Office Hadley Centre who have studied climate records, the evidence that human activity is changing our climate is overwhelming. ‘Climate change and CO 2 are clearly linked. And, as a major CO 2 producer, humankind

UK temperature records: A changing climate The UK has experienced increasingly extreme temperatures in recent years. On 19 July 2022, the UK recorded
