The average hottest day of the year has warmed by over 4.5°C from Kent to Lincolnshire in the most recent (2016-2025) decade vs the 1961-1990 average.
That’s a pretty significant jump upwards.
The last 28 days has a trailing CET mean of 20.66°C which means it’s been the hottest 4 week period since records first began in 1772.
Were on track for July to be the warmest July on record with the first 14 days coming in at 20.5°C, the previous record is 19.8°C.
July 1976, that remarkable hot summer people keep talking about was 18.6°C.
@devonboy3410 Thanks.
Let’s use Lowestoft as an example then. Here’s a map showing all the official Met Office stations, notably missing is Lowestoft.
Would you mind linking me to the data this station is supposedly still reporting despite not existing? :)
Domestic abuse increases significantly when England lose big games like this.
You are not alone. If you experience domestic abuse, there is help out there.

@devonboy3410 Why are you throwing around insults?
I’m genuinely trying to have a conversation with you, you seemed to know what you were talking about so I’m asking you about it.
Do you not have the link to where the data is being supposedly collected?
The Reading University observatory has recorded its highest-ever 30-day centred mean daily maximum in the last 10 days, just shy of 30ºC. It has been above the old record of 28.5ºC for 12 days from the 29th of June to the 10th of July - unprecedented in the 119-year record.
Average annual mean temperatures have increased markedly since the 61-90 average period.
The amount of warming across the UK in the last decade alone really is notable. Climate change is rapidly shifting our “normal” baseline.
The heatwave will finally begin to relax through the weekend as “cooler” air from the north moves south.
I doubt it’ll be the last we’ve seen of it, though.
The Met Office State of the UK Climate report for 2025 demonstrates how climate extremes are becoming the new normal for the UK.
