2025 likely to be UK's hottest on record, says Met Office

The UK is set to have its hottest year on record in 2025 due to climate change, with an average temperature of 10.05C. This warming trend is attributed to human-caused climate change, leading to a series of record-breaking temperatures and extreme weather events like droughts and wildfires. Scientists warn that these weather extremes will continue to worsen, with increased heatwaves, floods, and heavier rainfall expected in the future as a result of rising greenhouse gas emissions.
