The world’s temperature has reached an average exceeding 1.0 °C above pre-industrial levels for the past two decades: the first time that a 20-year period has reached this threshold since records began in 1850.

The temperature data published by the WMO - in their provisional 2021 State of the Global Climate report - shows that the period 2002-2021 reached an average of 1.01°C ±0.12 °C. For context, the Paris Agreement aims to limit global warming to well below 2.0 °C, preferably to 1.5 °C. A global

of earlier budburst in the UK as average spring temperatures have warmed. Such observations of the timing of natural events and their relationship to climate is known as phenology. This phenological study looked at the relationship between various daily climate observations– temperature, rainfall

Needles Old Battery is located at the western end of the Isle of Wight, at 80 metres above mean sea level at the top of a cliff and is fully exposed

some cloud and light rain or patchy drizzle at times. It will be breezy near some North Sea coasts. Whilst temperatures are expected to build day on day, becoming widely very warm or hot, they are unlikely to surpass those recorded at the start of the month. This heatwave is expected to be longer
