UK records hottest summer on record, says Met Office.

The United Kingdom recorded its hottest summer since records began in 2026, the Met Office, the country's national weather service, reported on Tuesday (1st). According to the agency, this was the second consecutive summer with record heat in Great Britain, considering a historical series dating back to 1884. The Met Office also highlighted that the five hottest summers ever recorded in the country have occurred since 2003, in a scenario of increasing frequency and intensity of extreme events associated with climate change caused by human activity. The intense heat and drought conditions also affected the British agricultural sector. Britain's cereal harvest is on track to be the worst since comparable records began in 1984, reflecting the impacts of high temperatures and lack of rain on crops.
