It equaled the average temperature for the hottest summer this year in England
This summer in England was overall the hottest on record in the country since records began in 1884, equaling 2018.
As announced by Met Office in Londonthe average temperature for June, July and August was 17.1 degrees Celsius.
This, the Met Office pointed out, means that four of the five hottest summers in England’s modern history have occurred since 2003, as the effects of man-made climate change become increasingly felt.
This summer included the record temperature of 40.3 degrees Celsius at the end of July, the first time the mercury in the UK exceeded 40 degrees.
And according to data dating back to 1836, England also experienced its sixth driest summer. It was the rainiest summer since 1995.
Ten of England’s 14 counties have been declared in a state of drought due to the lack of rain, which has caused an alarming decline in water availability.
Earlier in the week the Met Office warned that summers in England will be longer and drier as a result of climate change.
