Summer 2025 was officially the warmest summer on record for the UK, according to provisional data from the @metoffice.gov.uk Met Office climate scientists found that a summer as hot or hotter than 2025 is now 70 times more likely because of climate change. www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

Summer 2025 will 'almost certainly' be the warmest on record for the UK, according to provisional data from the @metoffice.gov.uk This would mean that the 5 warmest summers for the UK will have all occurred since the year 2000, and the records go back to 1884. www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

It is great to see that people like to talk about the weather. According to new research by the @metoffice.gov.uk, in the UK we spend 56.6 hours, or two days and 9 hours on average talking about the weather over the course of a year. www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

The UK is in its 4th major heatwave of the summer. 🔴Highs of 25–33°C — up to 12°C above average — are at least 5× more likely due to human-caused climate change (almost impossible without it), impacting tens of millions through the weekend.

We’ve collected the oldest ice core, now it’s time to analyse it! 🔍 💻 The @newscientist.com have a new icy-cool video, speaking to BAS scientists about the Beyond EPICA project, highlighting why this work is so important in the face of climate change. www.newscientist.com/video/249042...

The @metoffice.gov.uk have issued an amber wind warning for central and northern Scotland for Monday ⚠️ Storm Floris will bring unseasonably strong and disruptive winds. Wind gusts of 50-70 mph are expected for many and are likely to reach 80-90 mph on some exposed coasts, hills and bridges.

The temperatures at 1pm today across most of the UK were around 7-11C above average. istheukhotrightnow.com

Temperatures across the UK today and over the weekend have been made more likely by climate change. The @climatecentral.org Climate Shift Index shows that the temperatures have been made at least 3-5 times more likely. Climate change is making heatwaves more frequent and more intense.

Temperatures across most of the UK at the moment are currently 6-10C above average, for some they are 11C above average 🌡️ This website by @roostweather.bsky.social and @edhawkins.org is brilliant and shows how the current temperatures compare to average. istheukhotrightnow.com

The tension isn't the only thing rising at Wimbledon today.🎾 🌡️Hot temperatures are leading to multiple breaks in play due to heat-related medical issues for fans. The heat has been made at least 4x more likely due to human-caused climate change. sports.yahoo.com/tennis/break...

After a very hot day for some today, it will be turning fresher for all by Wednesday 📉 Remaining changeable through the week, especially in the northwest, where we could see some wet and windy conditions on Friday ☔

This new website by @edhawkins.org and @roostweather.bsky.social is brilliant. It shows how the current temperatures compare to average. The latest map shows how widely the temperatures at the moment are above average across the UK. For some they are 10-11C above average.

Here come the night sweats...🥵 Night-time temps rising above 20C are expected later this week, meteorologist Gemma Plumb tells Times Radio.

The Global Annual to Decadal Climate Update published today by Met Office and the WMO shows that global average temperature exceeded 1.5°C above the 1850-1900 average last year for the first time bit.ly/43CHLGJ

Latest WMO decadal update is available: - 80% chance that at least one of the next five years will exceed 2024 as the warmest on record - 70% chance that 5-year average warming for 2025-2029 will be more than 1.5 °C wmo.int/publication-...

There is a 80% chance of a tropical depression forming in the East Pacific in a few days.

☀️It’s been an exceptionally sunny & dry spring – what role is climate change playing? Dr Clair Barnes, an Imperial College climate scientist, explains the shifts in spring weather. And Colin Chappell, a farmer, lays out how these changes are impacting UK agriculture.

Word of the day is ‘beek’ (13th century): to bask in the pleasurable warmth of the sun. Also available as a noun, as in ‘I took a wonderful beek today’.

💔 Climate change is putting chocolate at risk. 🍫 Cacao trees are highly sensitive to temperature. More heat stress can reduce growth, lower yields, and impact the quality of cocoa beans. Read @climatecentral.org 's analysis here: www.climatecentral.org/report/analy...

🌀 Northern Australia is bracing for Cat 5 #Zelia, set to bring "very destructive winds" & "very heavy rain" Friday. 🔴It underwent extreme rapid intensification over unusually warm waters—made at least 10x MORE LIKELY by human-caused climate change. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/a...
