2022 will be the warmest year on record for the UK, according to provisional
Met Office figures.

All four seasons have fallen in the top ten in a series which began in 1884 and
the 10 warmest years have all occurred since 2003.

2022 will see the highest annual average temperature across the UK,
exceeding the previous record set in 2014 when the average was 9.88C.
Since 1884, all the ten years recording the highest annual temperature have
occurred from 2003. The final provisional figure for 2022 will be available at
the conclusion of the year and will then be subject to further quality control
and a verification process.

2022 will also be the warmest year on record in the 364-year Central
England temperature series from 1659, the world’s longest instrumental
record of temperature.
