when we have particularly hot dry summers, such as 2018. Last year, another group of scientists from the Met Office demonstrated that the summer temperatures of 2018 may occur every one in two years by the middle of the century. In this work, the scientists also look at how often we are likely

Temperatures will quickly rise today - it'll be very hot in south east England with a record-breaking 39°C possible.

Heatwave thresholds have been met across large parts of the country - 34.3°C was reached in Writtle, Essex on Wednesday and as hot air continues to push up from the Continent temperatures will rise further today. Heatwaves are extreme weather events, but research shows that with climate change

resilience and reduced costs.  Saving lives in a heatwave By working together with the UK Health Security Agency to improve heat health alerts that can forewarn health professionals of the impacts of hot weather, we can help health services to plan effectively and provide patient advice. In turn

and southern England will turn very warm or locally hot. The highest temperatures are expected in central England, where values could reach up to 29°C—just shy of the date record of 32.9°C for 19 June. READ MORE: Met Office weather extremes: What are June’s current records? Met Office presenter

as to whether we could expect to see more similar events in future climate. This study applies this protocol to the July 2022 event where, locally, temperatures did not drop below 20 degrees Celsius for three consecutive 24-hour periods. Hot nights during heatwaves are associated with increased mortality

areas of the UK are projected to be warmer. Hotter and drier summers are likely to become more common. The latest set of UK climate projections (UKCP18) provide the most up-to-date assessment of how the UK climate could change over the 21st century. As global temperatures rise, the number of days

We know - from surveys we carry out - how useful people find weather forecasts, that the majority of the UK public see a forecast at least once a day, and that people access forecasts in a range of places. This includes websites, apps, social media and television or radio. We also know
