June has never been warmer in Britain than this year since records began. The British weather service MetOffice announced this on Monday, citing preliminary data. According to the experts, this is a result of climate change.
The average temperature in the UK was 15.8 degrees Celsius, 0.9 degrees higher than the previous record of 14.9 in 1976 and 1940. The records date back to 1884.
Month very sunny and dry
According to experts, the development is the result of climate change. Record average temperatures were also recorded in individual parts of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, the report said. In addition, the past month was also one of the sunniest and exceptionally dry. The highest temperature recorded in June was 32.2 degrees Celsius.
Temperature record follows temperature record
MetOffice meteorologists blame climate change for the temperature record. According to them, records are becoming more and more common. According to this alone, since 2006 new maximum values for the average temperature have been reached in eight of the twelve months of the year.
The likelihood of a new June record has more than doubled since 1940, chief meteorologist Paul Davies said. “By 2050, there could be a 50 percent chance of breaking the old record of 14.9 degrees — every two years,” Davies said.
