The UK sweltered through its hottest June since records began in 1884, the country’s weather agency said Monday, July 3, 2023, adding that human-induced climate change means such unusual heat will become more frequent in the next few decades. The average temperature for June in the UK hit 15.8 degrees Celcius —0.9C hotter than the joint previous record of 14.
Meteorologists say that thanks to climate change, the chance of beating the previous joint record has at least doubled since the 1940s. Large areas of the country, from the Orkney Islands in northern Scotland to Cornwall in southwest England, set regional high temperature records last month, with many experiencing mean temperatures that were 2.5 C more than average.
Fisheries experts say that the hot weather has contributed to the deaths of thousands of fish in canals and rivers. Thunderstorms, pollution and other factors also contributed to the deaths, the Environment Agency said.
