The 13 biggest myths about heatwaves – and how to bust them

France just broke it's all time record for night-time minimum temperature: 30.6°C at Vives Is this an 'infernal night'? meteofrance.com/actualites-e...

M&S saw the plausible weather forecast for 2056, peaking at 45°C, that we produced with the Met Office and made the decision to invest in upgraded refrigeration. This comes after some of their fridges brown down during the recent heatwave. www.independent.co.uk/news/busines...

Heatwave III This time it’s… less humid But still potentially dangerous, especially to those vulnerable to high temperatures Thanks to climate change this franchise has a long lifespan ☹️

Climate change is literally canceling US independence Day celebrations. The July 4 parade in Philadelphia, the birthplace of American independence, has been canceled due to extreme heat. Heat waves aren’t new - what’s new is that climate change is making them hotter and more dangerous.

Why is it always Heathrow? Wait… what?

Would’ve been fun at Glastonbury!!! Thankfully it’s a fallow year 🥵

This is rather good imho ⬇️

++BREAKING++ Leading climate scientists in the UK have written to senior editors in broadcast media - and OFCOM and IPSO: "To express our concern about recent media coverage of extreme weather, climate change and net-zero and to urge you…to inform public audiences of the scientific links"

The UK June record was duly broken yesterday with 36.1C at Gosport, and it will fall again today. This spell also features high humidity and overnight temperatures. My husband commented with surprise on the dewy grass when he took his breakfast out. Very unusual to have dew points widely over 20C.

Do you see what's happening to the volume of #Arctic sea ice? More graphics at zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-i...

Yes, it’s hot. More than 10°C above normal for widespread regions of southern England. istheukhotrightnow.com

Temperatures have peaked today at 30.5°C in Frittenden, Kent 🌡️ This marks the first time in 2026 that the UK has passed the 30°C threshold It is very rare for the UK to record 30°C in May, with the last time being over a decade ago on 25 May 2012

Extratropical Cyclone #Vaianu continues to spiral toward the North Island of New Zealand. Damaging winds are expected, with severe gusts likely to bring down trees, cause power outages, and create hazardous conditions, particularly in exposed northern and eastern areas.

Any climate scientists want to sign a letter to UK political party leaders about whether we should extract more oil & gas from the North Sea?

A absolute pleasure to hang out with my good friend yesterday ❤️

It's been a very mild day across the UK, especially for England and Wales Here are today's top temperatures across each of the four nations 👇

Roses are red🌹 The weather’s been sh*tty 🌧️ So get outside today 😃 And enjoy the apricity ☀️

In the first of a new series of Deeper Dive YouTube exclusives, Alex Deakin had an in-depth discussion with Professor Craig Rodger from the University of Otago, an expert on space weather and its impacts on the electricity network. Read more: www.metoffice.gov.uk/blog/2026/de...

No it's not your imagination UK weather is getting wetter

Sustainable transport 🤝 Climate communication As Reading continued to experience the longest unbroken spell of rainfall ever recorded in the town, it was fitting that Reading Buses were launching a new fleet of electric buses, including this beauty featuring the #ClimateStripes ♥️ #ShowYourStripes

It’s like… Groundhog Day

We’ll be releasing our full Jan 2026 statistics on Mon 2 Feb. But early provisional Met Office UK statistics show Jan has seen: 👉 Above average rainfall – wettest in Northern Ireland, with southern England also very wet compared to average 👉 Below average temperatures 👉 Just below average sunshine

Which option do we choose - act or delay? These are the 'warning' stripes highlighting global choices. Do we act rapidly and keep global temperatures below 2°C, or delay and end up in a 3°C world (or worse)?

The heat energy we added to the ocean LAST YEAR is the equivalent of: - Detonating ten hydrogen bombs every minute - operating over a hundred large power plants continuously for all of written human history - Five times all the electricity human beings have ever used

Globally, no single day in 2025 was cooler than its 1991-2020 average. climate.copernicus.eu/global-clima...

Storm Goretti as seen from polar-orbiting satellites as it approached the UK.

The highest gust speed as a result of Storm Goretti is currently 99 mph, recorded at St Mary's Airport in the Isles of Scilly, making it a new record for the site Here are the top gust speeds so far 👇

Watch 100 years of December sea surface temperature anomalies updated through 2025. There's a lot of year-to-year variability, but a clear long-term warm signal is evident over time due to human-caused climate change. 🌊 Data from psl.noaa.gov/data/gridded...

Although its very cold at the moment in the UK, 2025 was both the warmest (with a mean temperature of 10.09°C) and sunniest (1648.5 hours) on record. Here is a climate and weather #dataviz summary for the last year. #climatechange #globalwarming.

With Arctic air surrounding the UK, weather systems will move in from the west and southwest resulting in a messy mix of rain, wind, snow and ice in many places. Find out more in the Week Ahead forecast with Aidan McGivern www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8ol...

It's the most magical time of the year — when estimates of last year's global average temperature anomaly come out. Time to dust off my "last year was hot" auto-response.

Wondering how much snow has fallen? ❄️ Here are the highest snow depths from all 4 nations over the past few days👇

The scientific evidence is absolutely crystal clear: We are certain the world is warming because we're burning fossil fuels and putting more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere So we have to stop doing that We also need to adapt to the changes we've already caused www.channel4.com/news/uk-alre...

The last day of 2025 has gotten off to a widely frosty start Temperatures plummeted across all four home nations 🥶

If leftovers aren’t your favourite bit of Christmas food are you even doing it right?

Lots of chat about colder weather coming but from everything I’ve seen Thursday looks like a shoo-in for warmest day of the year so far….

Burning fossil fuels causes the climate to change and many extreme weather events to become more severe. #fact

Only 3 more Mondays until the nights start drawing out #funfact

Storm Claudia, named by @aemet.es, will affect the UK on Friday Heavy rain and strong winds will bring disruption and possible flooding Warnings are in force so stay #WeatherAware ⚠️

Alrighty, ready to see something really cool? (and maybe a little nauseating) The evolution of Hurricane Melissa's mesovortices at peak strength.

A jaw-dropping view of the sun setting on Hurricane Melissa tonight. Melissa continues its approach to Jamaica as a powerful, major hurricane.
