Met Office says 40C heatwave weather becoming more likely in UK after wet start to summer

LBC says Temperatures of more than 40C are becoming increasingly likely in the UK due to climate change, the Met Office has warned.

It comes as the weather agency prepares to release its State of the UK Climate report for 2022, which saw temperatures break 40C for the first time as well as a record number of heat-related deaths.

Meanwhile, June 2023 was the world’s hottest month on record.

Climate experts have warned that the 40C heat seen last year would not be possible without climate change and that Britain is underprepared for increasingly likely extreme weather events.
