Provisional data shows that the summer of 2022, covering June, July and August, had an average temperature of 17.1C, equaling 2018 as the hottest on record. It means four of the five hottest summers on record for England have occurred since 2003 as the impact of human-caused climate change is felt on the country’s summer temperatures, the Met Office said. England also had its sixth driest summer on record and the driest since 1995, according to Met Office figures dating back to 1836. The UK as a whole saw 62% of normal summer rainfall. It was also sunnier than usual, with an average of 582 hours recorded, 115% of the 1991-2020 average. The scorching summer included record-breaking heat in July, which saw temperatures rise above 40C for the first time in the UK, as climate collapse causes more frequent and intense heatwaves. The Met Office said it was the fourth warmest summer on record for the UK overall, with an average of 15.7C, just 0.1C below the record set in 2018 and 2006. It was the eighth warmest summer for Scotland and Wales and 12th warmest for Northern Ireland, the researchers said.

Dr Mark McCarthy of the National Center for Climate Information said: “For many this summer’s record-breaking heat in July – where temperatures reached 40.3C at Coningsby in Lincolnshire – will be the most memorable aspect of the season . However, for England to achieve its hottest summer ever it takes more than extreme heat over a few days, so we must not forget that we experienced some persistently warm and hot spells in June and August as well.” The hot, dry weather has led to drought conditions across much of England, drying up rivers, destroying crops and sparking fires that have destroyed homes and land. However, some respite is forecast for the near term as an area of low pressure moves in. “By the weekend conditions will change as low pressure takes the lead for several days, bringing wet and windy conditions,” the Met Office said. “A relatively static area of low pressure will bring rain across the UK during Friday and into the weekend and into early next week.” It also issued a yellow rain warning for large areas of Northern Ireland and south-west Scotland throughout Saturday.
