The Average temperature at UK It could exceed 10ºC in 2022 for the first time in history, an event experts say happens once every 500 years. Climate changes Man-made.
Office British Meteorological Survey 2022 was the hottest year in the country on Thursday, with an average temperature of 10.03 degrees Celsius.
Those records began in 1884, and since then there have been 10 warmest years since 2003, confirming trends seen elsewhere in Europe this winter, the weather service said.
The Met analyzed current temperatures by comparing them to models created by subtracting the impact of human influence on the climate, explained Met scientist Nikos Christidis.
“The results show that in a natural climate 10ºC would be recorded once every 500 years (on average), whereas in our current climate it might occur once every three or four years,” he said.
He added that unless carbon emissions are drastically reduced, “the UK’s average temperature will rise by 10 degrees Celsius almost every year”.
The Met’s British report comes just days after the publication of a major study on January 10 CopernicusPlanetary Observation Project European unionAbout weather patterns in the EU and around the world last year.
