🔴 The ‘fingerprint of climate change’ is on June’s record-breaking temperatures, the Met Office has warned
“Using our UKCP18 climate projections, we can also see that there is a difference in the frequency of these sort of extremes depending on the emissions scenario we follow in the future.
It was also the sunniest June in the UK since 1957, and it was dry – with only 68 per cent of average rainfall falling across the UK. Wales was particularly dry, recording just over half of its average monthly rainfall with 46.7mm .“June started with a good deal of high pressure and temperatures initially around average for many, but once that subsided, warm, humid air began to influence temperatures, with 32.2°C the highest temperatures reached.
Eight of the 12 calendar months now have an average temperature record set since 2006 in a series which dates back to 1884.
