Great Britain sets record heat for June

June has never been warmer in Britain than it has been this year since records began. British weather service MetOffice announced the preliminary data today.

For example, the average temperature in England was 15.8 degrees Celsius, 0.9 degrees above the previous record of 14.9 measured in 1976 and 1940. Measurements go back to 1884.

32.2 degrees Celsius

Average temperatures were also recorded in individual parts of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, the report said. Additionally, last month was one of the hottest and exceptionally dry months. The maximum temperature recorded in this month of June was 32.2 degree Celsius.

Met office meteorologists blame climate crisis for record high temperatures. According to them, records are becoming more common. Since 2006, new maximum values ​​for average temperature have been reached in eight of the twelve months of the year.

The probability of a new record for June has more than doubled since 1940, Chief Meteorologist Paul Davies said. “By the 2050s, there’s probably a 50 percent chance of breaking the old record of 14.9 degrees — every year,” Davis said.
