Not only in the UK as a whole, but also in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, this year was the hottest June since regular measurements began in 1884.
The average temperature in June this year was 15.8 degrees Celsius, which is 0.9 degrees higher than the previous June records set in 1940 and 1976. Of the 97 regions from which temperature data was collected, records were broken in 72 regions.
This year is officially the UK’s hottest June in terms of average temperatures and average minimum and maximum temperatures.
Although the highest temperature ever recorded in the country last year was 40.3 degrees, the heat in June this year was constant day and night.
In addition, rainfall was low throughout the month, with only 68 percent of the average June rainfall measured across the country, and Wales was particularly dry this month, receiving only half of the average rainfall.
The Met Office used supercomputer analysis of temperature data to determine the effects of climate change on the weather, and found that the chance of any given June breaking the temperature records set in 1940 and 1976 has at least doubled since the 1940s.
Drought already caused serious problems in England last year, and at the same time, many British cities are at risk of flooding.
