Britain is entering an era where extreme weather is becoming increasingly common, according to climate scientists, after official data confirmed that 2025 was the hottest year ever recorded in the United Kingdom.
The findings come from the latest State of the UK Climate report, published by the Met Office and climate researchers, which concluded that temperatures, heatwaves, heavy rainfall, and drought conditions are becoming more frequent and more intense across the country. Scientists warned that conditions once considered exceptional are rapidly becoming the new normal.
