. 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 change. The UK

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. What

, and the influence on regional climate of urban land use and urban waste heat emissions. Unified Model and Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) provide a traceable hierarchy of models across different space and time scales required to quantify interactions between global climate change and urban

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 the occurrence

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. Our Met Office

weather is interconnected, and longer-range forecasts rely on slowly varying aspects of the global weather and climate system, known as climate drivers. There are large scale global drivers which we know have influences on UK weather at this time of year – so what are these doing at the moment

runs shows how local SST anomalies influence land temperature anomalies. These SST anomalies result from a combination of climate change, decadal variability and weather variability, as shown in Berthou et al. (2024). This assessment quantifies the role of the observed marine heatwave

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
