In 2025, the United Kingdom experienced its hottest summer ever

The United Kingdom has seen its hottest summer ever recorded, the Met Office said, as the country was hit by four heatwaves in a single season.

The average temperature for the summer, which includes the months of June, July and August, was 16.1°C, which is significantly above the current record of 15.76°C set in 2018.

All five of the warmest summers on record have occurred since 2000, a clear signal of global warming that scientists say is coming as a result of rising concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

June and July saw hot weather, with four heatwaves, including days above 30 degrees Celsius. There has been very little rain in most of the country, with England experiencing what the government has called a "nationally significant" water shortage. Much of England is under a ban on using tap water as reservoirs, rivers and groundwater run dry.

Although the summer has been consistently warm, there has been no extreme heat. The highest temperature recorded so far in 2025 was 35.8 °C in Faversham, Kent, on 1 July, well below the UK record temperature of 40.3 °C reached in July 2022.

But June alone saw two heatwaves, making it the hottest June on record for England and the second warmest for the UK overall. Then, a third heatwave in July and a fourth in August pushed the overall average temperature for the summer into record territory.

At the end of June, scientists calculated that the heat experienced by people in southeast England had become 100 times more likely due to the climate crisis.

Meteorologists have said this year's continued warmth was caused by dry spring ground, high-pressure systems and unusually warm seas around the UK, and minimum temperatures had been unusually above average./ C NA, translated by "The Guardian"
