A comparison of daily temperature anomalies during this Summer and 1976. Itās the much warmer daily minimum temperatures this year that have pushed the overall average up Itās also why personal memory is not a reliable measure. We remember the heatwaves not the cool nights.

1976 is no longer the warmest summer on record for any part of the UK...

As I reposted the last one, Iād better repost this one!
So, I actually got my calculations WRONG... extra double night shifts for me as penance over the next month Using the correct min-temp, the one reported this morning... we already now know what the final mean summer CET figure is. and I *think* it comes out at 17.72, so a tie!

Summer 2025 currently ahead by a nose in the mean #CET stakes, with 1 day to go Today's mean max, if I've got my calculations right, of the 3 stations which make up the CET, is 20.6C This means an overnight mean min of 11.2C or more will break the record, currently held by 1976

Probably a good time to post this. We are glad to have this option for the extreme cases where we might need to warn people to evacuate such as flash flooding
SAVE THE DATE šļø On Sunday 7th September, we will be testing Emergency Alerts on mobile phones across the UK. Find out more: https://t.co/ZFiC6vTApF

Thanks @ChadWeather for the 1976 comments. Iāll add that humans are not good temperature sensors. We all feel a room is hot after exercise but cold after sitting still. 16C in March feels warm, but not in August. We acclimatise to heat when we travel, & our memory gilds the past
@GerardAMorrow I quote again. https://t.co/90dbovRzct You are not correct. Don't forget nighttime temperatures are included in the average.

Provisional statistics from the Met Office show that summer 2025 will āalmost certainlyā be the warmest summer on record for the UK. It would move 2018 off the top spot and relegate 1976 out of the top five warmest summer in a series which dates back to 1884. Read more š

You may remember the great picture from the aftermath of Storm Eowyn of the buoy washed up in Ireland. Hereās what happened next!
In November 2024, one of our ocean buoys became lost at sea during Storm Bert... Eventually found washed up on a beach in Ireland, but what did we learn from the buoy's unexpected journey? Read our blog post š

I have advised gazebo reticence for the village show
Unseasonably strong winds are expected across southwest England this weekend. Especially over northern coasts and to the northwest of higher ground, such as Dartmoor. Please be aware if camping, heading to the beach or planning outdoor events.

Ah, I see the whole āItās just summerāand āBut itās measured in a hot placeā imbecility exists in French too. Extreme heatwave imminent in France

I confess: I left one cucumber on a neighbourās garden table and another on a different neighbourās kitchen windowsill before taking two more to work. In my defence I had eaten cucumber soup and cucumber salad already
@higgledygarden Aah! My friend used to call it the season of malicious zucchini giving - when neighbours sneak around under cover of darkness, leaving them on each others doorsteps!

The future of the AMOC is one of the most urgent ā and uncertain ā questions in climate science. In this new Met Office video, I share insights from our Nature paper on how Southern Ocean winds may help prevent an AMOC collapse as the planet warms š„
