He carried out post-doctoral work on high-temperature
February in a series since 1910 (behind 1998), and included a new UK winter maximum temperature record (21.2 °C at Kew Gardens). March, April, July and December were all a degree or more warmer than average overall – and a new UK record of 38.7 °C was recorded at Cambridge Botanical Garden on July 25th

A recording of 38.7°C at Cambridge Botanic Garden on Thursday 25 July has become the highest temperature officially recorded in the UK.
high temperatures gripped large parts of central and western Europe last week, the UK joins Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands in breaking national temperature records. The recording was taken at the University of Cambridge Botanic Garden - which houses a Met Office climate observation site

nights later in the month pulled the night time temperatures closer to average. The coldest night reaching -6.2°C (Cromdale, Moray 18 April 2017), April has been a warmer than average month. On 9 April 25.5°C was recorded at Cambridge, the warmest day of the year so far. Overall the UK mean temperature
recorded in the UK is 38.7°C set in Cambridge in July 2019. This prompts the question of whether exceeding 40°C is now within the possibilities of the UK climate. High emmissions scenario The study suggests the current chance of seeing days above 40°C is extremely low, however by 2100 under a high
