Looking back at 2025 (through mid-December): a snapshot of the climate fingerprint on the UK’s unusual, at times excessive, heat. The Climate Shift Index signal ramps up in spring, then flickers on and off in waves into early September. Notice how it shows up again throughout November.
Ed Hawkins@edhawkins.org · 8mo agoAs we move into the final days of the year, 2025 has just overtaken 2022 as warmest year-to-date for Central England. Given the forecast, it looks likely that 2025 will end up being the warmest calendar year for this region since records began in 1659. The top 3 warmest will be 2022, 2023 & 2025.
