"This summer is set to be the warmest on record for the UK, the Met Office has
said, after the country experienced four heatwaves.
The mean temperature for summer is tracking at 16.13C (61.03F), which is
significantly above the current record of 15.76C set in 2018.
Many remember 1976 as being a scorching summer with a record heatwave, but this
data would relegate that year out of the top five warmest summers since records
began in 1884. It would mean all five warmest summers on record had occurred
since 2000.
The Met Office scientist Emily Carlisle said: “Provisional Met Office
statistics show that summer 2025 will almost certainly be the warmest summer on
record … Unless temperatures are around four degrees below average for the rest
of August, which the forecast does not suggest, it looks like the current
record will be exceeded.
“Of course, there are still a few days left of meteorological summer to go, but
it’s very unlikely anything will stop summer 2025 from being the warmest on
record.”"
