the effect of human influence on the occurrence of UK annual mean temperatures exceeding those observed in 2023. While 2023 did not exceed the record set in 2022 (Christidis et al., 2023) it came very close. We provide estimates for the exceedance probability of similar events in the climate
A unique collaboration between the Met Office and The Wildlife Trusts has driven a series of projects examining the impacts of weather and climate change on wildlife and their habitats across the UK.
. Developing a series of bespoke weather and climate indicators of relevance for The Wildlife Trusts; Specific climate-related indicators, including accumulated rainfall and number of days with temperature above a threshold, were developed to identify how climate influences natural events at Wildlife Trust

An attribution study of the UK mean temperature in year 2022. Technical summary. Details of the attribution system in Christidis (2021). Nikolaos Christidis, Peter A Stott, Mark McCarthy January 2023. An attribution study was conducted to examine how human influence on the climate increases
in shaping our weather, influencing rainfall, and affecting how we feel day to day. While often overshadowed by temperature in discussions about climate and comfort, humidity is a key factor in our experience of heat and has significant implications for human health, especially in a changing climate
temperatures ranged from 15.8°C in the north to 17.4°C in the east. Met Office Climate Scientist, Dr Amy Doherty, said: "While we’ve not conducted formal climate attribution studies into June 2025’s two heatwaves, past studies have shown it is virtually certain that human influence has increased
, said: “Everyone can see that we’re experiencing frequent extreme weather, and an increasing number of these damaging events can be shown to have been influenced by human-induced climate change. What is interesting in these survey results is that the UK public are already engaged in reducing
it is virtually certain that human influence has increased the occurrence and intensity of extreme heat events such as this. "Numerous climate attribution studies have shown that human influence increased the chance that specific extreme heat events would occur, such as the summer of 2018 and July 2022
average. These conditions combined to create an environment where heat could build and linger, especially when high pressure dominated. Minimum overnight temperatures were also widely above average, further contributing to the overall warmth. All these factors point to the influence of climate
