Britain is rapidly warming, and the number of days that the temperature in London exceeds 30 degrees Celsius is three times more than in the 80s of the last century. According to the latest “Report on the State of the UK Climate”, the temperature in the UK rises by about 0.25 degrees Celsius every ten years, and nothing from the coast to the highlands is unaffected. Take south-east England, where London is located, as an example. The temperature on the hottest day was 4.5 degrees Celsius higher than in the past. Heatwaves are also spreading northward, eroding habitats on the coldest mountaintops. Currently, the UK and much of Western Europe are being hit by three deadly heatwaves. Repeated high temperatures are putting pressure on power grids, transportation, and healthcare systems, disrupting the daily lives of people across Europe. According to this annual report, last year was the hottest year on record in the UK. Lead author Mike Kendon said that the study also showed that the 20th century British climate had actually disappeared. This is one of the key reports UK policymakers refer to.
