. 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

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

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.
