The Climate Change Committee (CCC) is warning in a new report published today that the British way of life is under threat from heat, flooding and drought - and that the UK was built for a climate that no longer exists today.

The Met Office is warning that 2025 likely another record year for UK annual temperature - approaching year end, 2025 is on track to be one of the UK’s warmest years on record, joining 2022 and 2023 in the top three warmest years.

Provisional Met Office statistics confirm that summer 2025 is officially the warmest summer on record for the UK. Analysis by Met Office climate scientists has also shown that a summer as hot or hotter than 2025 is now 70 times more likely than it would be in a ‘natural’ climate with no human caused greenhouse gas emissions.

Climate change made weather conditions leading to deadly wildfires in Türkiye, Cyprus and Greece 10 times more likely, acording to researchers at the Weather Attribution Service and other leading climate scientists.

The EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) is reporting that last month saw the third-warmest June globally with heatwaves in Europe amid temperature extremes across both hemispheres.

Met Office scientists have published a new study detailing the increasing likelihood of extreme temperatures in the UK, revealing that the chance of exceeding 40°C in the UK is accelerating at pace.
