Britain experiences hottest summer for second year

Britain experienced its hottest summer on record for the second consecutive year, according to estimates from the UK Met Office. Summer 2026 recorded an average temperature of 16.5°C from June to August, surpassing the previous record of 16.1°C set in 2025. Human-induced climate change has made such hot summers approximately 130 times more likely, with increasing heatwaves and droughts impacting rainfall levels and exposing infrastructure to greater risks. As a result, around 2,877 people in England have died due to heatwaves. The country continues to see rising temperatures, with expectations that these hot, dry seasons will persist and even intensify.
