England had its second warmest June on record since 1884

The Met Office has said on Tuesday that England has had its second warmest June on record since 1884, according to provisional statistics.

Spring was a record breaker for the warmest and sunniest on record which also saw two heatwaves.

Met Office Climate Scientist, Dr Amy Doherty, said, “While we’ve not conducted formal climate attribution studies into June 2025’s two heatwaves, past studies have shown it is virtually certain that human influence has increased the occurrence and intensity of extreme heat events such as this.

“Numerous climate attribution studies have shown that human influence increased the chance that specific extreme heat events would occur, such as the summer of 2018 and July 2022.

“Our Met Office climate projections indicate that hot spells will become more frequent in our future climate, particularly over the southeast of the UK.

“Temperatures are projected to rise in all seasons, but the heat would be most intense in summer.”
