UK Record it The hottest spring on record According to provision, its drought in more than 50 years Meteorological Office Statistics.
Provisional data showed that the average temperature of this spring was above 9.5C Long -term climate average By 1.4C.
It comes after warning by the forecaster The UK can be hit by Heatwaves And it was twice when the country would experience a hot summer.
“Data clearly indicates that in recent decades, hot, numbers and often drying from the 20th century average,” Meteorological Office Scientist Emily Karlisle said.
“This spring shows some changes in the pattern of our season, which are with more extreme conditions including long, sunny weather.”
The agency stated that the 10 most hot UK springs since the year 2000, and the three hottest springs have been since 2017.
The temperature in the UK an average of 9.51C in March, April and May, just above the previous spring record of 9.37C, which was only set last year.
The next hot springs were in 2011 (9.12C), 2014 (9.02C) and 2007 (9.02C). Met office temperature data begins in 1884.
Meanwhile, the three -month perspective of the Met Office suggests that it is 2.3 times more likely that the UK will heat up in the summer of meteorological, which starts from 1 June and ends on 31 August.
The average temperature across the UK in those months is from 10–17C, with the South East of England, the high average of 16–17C experiences.
The Met Office said: “While the current three -month approach reflects the increasing possibility of a warm heat, the temperature signs for this heat are similar for recent years and correspond to our warming climate.
“The possibility of heating up to the average temperature is not a guarantee of prolonged hot weather or heatwave, but this means that sometimes the heatwave conditions can reach.
“However, it is important to note that the increasing possibility of warm conditions can also reflect a mixture of warm and cool days, warm nights or low extreme levels of warm nights, rather than persistent heat.”
Data shows that this is a decade because the last time a heat was predicted to cool down, in 2015. The latest approach also shows that the level of rainfall and wind speed for the next three months will also be average near.
