  gridding tool builds climate data records through gridding data points using satellite data to establish missing climate data. This was complemented by training in the use of FACTFIT, a tool allowing users to visualise a downscaled statistical seasonal forecast. These tools are now being used

• Marine heatwaves: why warm seas matter for UK weather

  , they are defined relative to what is normal for a particular location and time of year. A marine heatwave occurs when sea surface temperatures remain above the 90th percentile of a 30-year climate record for at least five consecutive days. Depending on how far temperatures exceed this threshold, events can

  average for March. The highest temperature was 24.5°C at Kew Gardens (Greater London) on the 30th. This was only the third day in March in UK climate station records where a temperature of 24°C has been reached in the UK. The previous dates were 29 March 1965 and 29 March 1968 – with the March record

• More than 2,700 excess deaths estimated in England and Wales during May and June heatwaves

  Climate change added between 3-4°C to maximum temperatures and is estimated to be responsible for about 42% of the deaths across both heatwaves

  and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine used historical mortality records and established peer-reviewed methods to model fatalities during both heat spikes. As Scotland and Northern Ireland were not impacted by such extreme temperatures, they focused on England and Wales. Impact of climate change

• Extreme weather reveals changing climate

  A new report by the Met Office, published today, reveals further details about changes in the UK’s climate since the 1960s. The report reveals changes in extreme weather as measured by temperature and rainfall extremes.

  . Dr Mark McCarthy is the head of the Met Office’s National Climate Information Centre, the team which produced the report. He said: “Monthly, seasonal and annual climate data provide a valuable record of the changing climate in the UK. However, these average figures have a tendency to mask extreme

• Rising greenhouse gas concentrations lead to ice loss and drying soils

  The global climate in 2025 set several new records, including atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, the loss of glacial ice from mountain regions, and the dryness of global soils.

  editor for the Global Climate chapter of the BAMS report. He said: “2025 was exceptional when compared to the conditions in the 20th Century, with temperatures well above average. When seen in conjunction with 2024 and 2023, the last three years have been truly exceptional, eclipsing records
