Temperatures are set to reach 28°C in parts of south-east England on Friday before cooler, wetter and windier weather arrives next week

Record breaking and extreme weather has become increasingly commonplace in the UK as our climate has changed over the last few decades.

The next--and most important--cycle in a long-running battle

As sweltering conditions smashed May temperature records across the country, climate scientists say that the worst is yet to come.

“The UK’s greenhouse gas emissions fell by 2.4% in 2025 to their lowest level in more than 150 years, according to new Carbon Brief analysis. The biggest factors were gas use falling to a 34-year low and coal use dropping to levels last seen in 1600, when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and William Shakespeare was writing Hamlet. These shifts were helped by record-high UK temperatures, elevated gas prices, the end of coal power in late 2024 and a sharp slowdown in the steel industry. Other key findings of the analysis include: \* The UK’s greenhouse gas emissions fell to 364m tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e) in 2025, the lowest level since 1872. \* Coal use roughly halved, with more than half of this due to the end of coal power and another third due to closures and other issues in the steel industry.”
