How unusual is this UK heatwave and what is the role of climate change?

Another magic of temperatures above 30C, before we have reached the end of June – how unusual it is and how much is it to blame climate change?

The temperature of 34C is possible on Monday or Tuesday in South-East England.

They are triggered by an area of ​​high pressure “stuck” on Europe, known as heat dome.

But climate scientists are clear that heat will essentially be promoted by our warming climate.

Some people may say that these temperatures feel “like summer” – and it is true that they are much colder than that Record 40c in July 2022 and more UK hit,

But it is important to be aware of how uncommon for the Britain.

In the late 20th century, one in ten years saw a height of 35 C or more, analyzing the BBC mail office data show.

But this heat is becoming more common. Between 2015 and 2024, 35C or more were seen in half years.

And these temperatures are especially unusual for June, usually the best summer month.

Climate scientist of Met Office Dr. Amy Doharti said, “The 34C recording in the UK in June is a relatively rare event, with a few days with a few days of the 1960s.”

The hottest June day on the record was at 35.6C in 1976. The list is with 34.5C in 2017 next year and 34.0C with June 2019.

The forecasts suggest that 2025 may break in the top three.

And further data on the Met office also shows that in the decade 2014–2023, the UK had more than 32 C times more than 32C during the 1961–1990 period.

It is well established that climate change is strengthening the heat and making it more likely.

As humans burn coal, oil and gas and cut the forests, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are left in the atmosphere.

These gases act like a blanket, causing the planet to heat up.

Till now humans have caused the planet to heat up 1.36c up from the end of the 1800sProminent scientists stated earlier this month.

It cannot do much. But even a small increase in the average temperature of the Earth can move the heat to a much higher level.

Associate Professor of Imperial College London, Dr. Fraderyk Otto said, “Climate change is a full game-changer, when it comes to heat in Europe, causing a lot of heatwaves, especially the hottest, and most intense,” Dr. Fraderyk Otto, Associate Professor of Imperial College London said.

And as climate change continues, heatwaves will continue to be more likely and can reach higher temperatures.

“The severity of summer heatwaves, but also the extremes of wet weather events along with dry will continue to deteriorate as long as we curb our greenhouse gas emissions and stabilize our warming climate.”

The temperature is more common in other parts of the world in the mid-third decade.

But in many cases the UK infrastructure – roads and railways to hospitals and care houses – is simply designed for such heat.

Climate Change Committee – Independent Advisor of the Government – has warned, for example, that there is a possibility of overheating more properties in further decades.

And these risks are not even distributed among the population.

Associate Professor at Oxford University, Dr. Radhika Khosla said, “Air conditioning and other cooling systems are important to maintain health, productivity and quality of life,” said Radhika Khosla.

He said, “However, access to cooling is rarely rarely in developed countries, and the most disadvantaged people of the UK will bear the brunt of this heatwave.”

And so such heatwaves not only highlight the nature of our changing climate, but also like challenges.
