UK Set to Break Temperature Records as 2025 Tracks Toward Warmest Year in History

UK Set to Break Temperature Records as 2025 Tracks Toward Warmest Year in History

The Met Office reports 2025 is tracking at 10.05°C, marginally ahead of 2022's record of 10.03°C, making it likely the UK's warmest year since records began in 1884. Scientists describe the finding as evidence of extraordinary climate times, with four of the last five years appearing among the top five warmest. The final confirmation awaits year-end data following the Christmas cold spell, but experts say it's more likely than not to be confirmed as a new record.
