While the summer of 2024 may have been cooler than previous years - in the historical context it still fits within the wider pattern of warming caused by climate change.
The UK has experienced its coolest summer since 2015, according to provisional data from the Met Office. Despite recent years seeing persistently hot and dry summers - edging into extreme weather at times - 2024 has somewhat bucked that trend. While a handful of days were hot, they were not close to the heat we've seen in recent years and many will have felt this summer didn't quite live up to expectations.
'While climate change increases the frequency of warmer weather in the UK, our natural variability means that we'll still experience cooler than average summers at times.' Colder, wetter, greyer The mean temperatures for both June and July were below average, thanks largely to northern winds bringing down cold Arctic air. August enjoyed slightly above-average temperatures because of a switch to dominant westerly winds bringing slightly warmer Atlantic air to the UK.
