• Marine heatwaves: why warm seas matter for UK weather

  heatwave events around the UK. According to Met Office scientists, 2025 was particularly exceptional, with marine heatwave conditions persisting for more than three-quarters of the year. Similar events were also recorded in 2022 and 2023, while 2026 has once again seen sea temperatures significantly

Summer warmth was mostly confined to southern and eastern areas, with only one really hot day on 10th when temperatures reached

  become frozen together to form sea ice floes with a very rough appearance. Once nilas or pancake ice has formed, seawater can freeze on to the bottom of it causing the ice to thicken through a process known as 'congelation growth'. Congelation growth traps pockets of seawater and air bubbles within
