UK weather: Hotter than normal summer more likely says Met Office

The UK is more likely to experience a hotter-than-normal summer with an increased chance for heatwaves, according to the Met Office.

In its most recent three month outlook, it has predicted that meteorological summer - which runs from 1 June to 31 August - is twice as likely to be hotter than normal in 2025.

The prediction follows an unprecedented spring which was the sunniest, as well as one of the driest and warmest, on record.
