2025 on track to be UK's warmest year on record, says Met Office
The Met Office projects 2025 as the warmest UK year with a provisional average temperature of 10.05°C, driven by heatwaves, droughts, and wildfires, pending final confirmation.
- The Met Office says 2025 is on track to be one of the UK's warmest years, with senior scientist Mike Kendon stating it is likely to be the warmest on record, though a forecasted cold spell over Christmas could alter the final figure.
- Historical data point to clustering of warm years, with new UK annual mean temperature records set in 2002, 2003, 2006, 2014 and 2022, unprecedented in UK observational records since 1884.
- So far the annual mean temperature is tracking at 10.05C, ahead of the previous record of 10.03C set in 2022, while photographs from Folkestone, Kent, show unusually warm July conditions.
- Professor Friederike Otto said the finding is `devastating and utterly unsurprising`, while Bob Ward urged leading the world to reach net zero emissions as soon as possible.
- The ranking would put four of the last five years among the top five warmest, with all top-10 warmest years occurring in the last two decades.
