. Scientific evidence has shown that these events are becoming more likely and more intense due to human-caused climate change.   What was once considered exceptional is becoming increasingly common – the chance of experiencing summers as hot as 2018 has already increased to between 12-25% and could

Extreme Heat Whilst many of us like to enjoy the sunshine and hot weather, we should make sure we do it safely and remember certain groups of people are more vulnerable than others to heat.  Extreme heat

New analysis of observations shows that extremes of temperature in the UK are most affected by human induced climate change. This means the UK is seeing, on average, more frequent periods of hot weather, bringing challenges for infrastructure, health and wellbeing. The observations also suggest

with future changes in climate. Climate projections show a spread of possible outcomes, and this is useful to assess opportunity or risk. In the UK, climate projections show a tendency towards warmer and wetter winters, and hotter and drier summers. Natural variability in the weather will continue
