🔥 Sizzling Summer 2025 Sets New Record! ☀️
This summer has officially claimed its spot as the UK’s hottest on record, with a blazing average temperature of 16.10°C, surpassing the previous record of 15.76°C set back in 2018. It was a season of relentless heat, as we basked in four heatwaves and saw temps soar over 30°C on multiple occasions.
This year beat the notorious summer of ’76 in terms of constant warmth, thanks to high-pressure systems, unusually warm seas, and dry spring soils creating perfect conditions for heat waves. Our planet is undeniably heating up, and the UK is warming at a rate of 0.25°C per decade, causing those scorching summers to become our new norm.
While rain did grace some parts of the UK, central, southern, and eastern areas experienced a particularly dry summer, further stressing our environment with hosepipe bans and poor harvests.
The Met Office highlights that our recent climate conditions make such hot summers more likely than ever—what was once a rare climate event might become something we see every five years! This raises important concerns about the ongoing impacts of climate change and reminds us all to consider our part in crafting a sustainable future.
Stay hydrated and watch out for those sunburns, folks, because if these trends continue, our summers are only going to get hotter! 🌡️🌍 #Summer2025 #HottestSummer #ClimateChange
