THE UK’s annual average temperature topped 10C for the first time in 2022 with Scotland’s average the lowest across the four nations.
The mean temperature across the 12 months was 10.03C, beating the previous high of 9.88C in 2014, the Met Office said.
It means that 15 of the UK’s top 20 warmest years on record have all occurred this century – with the entire top 10 in the past two decades.
