UK weather: Country set for one of the hottest summers on record, Met Office says
The UK is on track for one of its hottest summers on record, the Met Office has said. With two weeks remaining in the meteorological summer, there is still time for changes in the weather, but the season's persistent warmth and consistent above-average temperatures suggest it could be one of the country's warmest summers since records began in 1884. Provisional figures from the Met Office show that the UK's average temperature from 1 June to 17 August was 16.2C, some 1.6C above the average temperature. Met Office scientist Emily Carlisle said: "It's looking like this summer is on track to be one of the warmest, if not 'the' warmest, since the series began in 1884. "What's striking is the consistency of the warmth. June and July were both well above average and even outside of heatwaves, temperatures have remained on the warmer side." The persistent warmth is driven by a combination of factors, including dry ground from spring, high-pressure systems, and unusually warm seas around the UK, she said. The scientist added: "These conditions have created an environment where heat builds quickly and lingers. "While we haven't seen record-breaking highs - 35.8C is the peak so far this year - the overall trend in consistently above-average temperatures is what matters." 2:11 The Met Office has said that climate change is contributing to rising summer temperatures, with the UK experiencing an average warming of about 0.25C per decade. The UK's warmest summer on record is 2018, followed by 2006, 2003, 2022 and 1976. The Met Office said both June and July delivered consistently above-average temperatures, with England experiencing its hottest June on record. There have been four heatwaves so far this summer. And the Met Office said that while that was unusual, each has been short-lived and interspersed with near-average conditions. And the hottest day of the year, at 35.8C in Faversham, Kent, is well below the all-time high for the UK of 40.3C in 2022. East and West Midlands in drought The East and West Midlands were officially in drought in mid-July, after the driest start to a year since 1976. Eight million people faced water use restrictions, with many more potentially affected under a worst-case scenario outlined by the Environment Agency. The two regions joined the North West of England and Yorkshire, which had been under drought status for several weeks. Reservoir and river levels in the Midlands were well below normal, with no substantial rain in the forecast, government experts, water companies and the Met Office said.

'We put Taunton on the map' - Somerset at 150 years
John Cleese was eight years old when his parents moved to Weston-super-Mare in 1948 and he was first introduced to Somerset County Cricket club. "I can't tell you what an excitement it was to go along to Clarence Park and to watch these huge figures playing cricket," Cleese - star of Monty Python and Fawlty Towers - said."It was the first time at that stage in my life I'd seen anything that was spectacular or impressive."Those matches in Weston-super-Mare were the highlight of my life; I looked forward to them all year despite the fact we had a pretty feeble team. We won the wooden spoon five years in a row, but it didn't seem to matter to me at that point."Cleese has remained a lifelong Somerset fan and is among the many people associated with the club who BBC Radio Somerset have spoken to to mark its 150th birthday on 18 four-part series called '150 not out: Somerset County Cricket club' is available to listen to now. It was on 18 August, 1875 when a two-day match between the Gentleman of Somerset and the Gentlemen of Devon concluded and the Somerset cricket club we know today was formed. Through the early years, the club played across the whole South-West region, with Weston's Clarence Park among venues also in Bath, Frome, Yeovil and Torquay. But it was in Taunton Somerset made its home, with the first game held there in 1882 and the freehold for the land - now home to the County Ground - bought 14 years has a population of just over 157,000 as of 2021 - tiny compared to cities such as London, Birmingham, Nottingham, Leicester or Manchester which all host rival county teams. Somerset cricket is by far Taunton's biggest export - no rugby or football clubs here are competing for fans' attention - and the stadium's location right next to the town centre adds to the unique feeling that the club is at the heart of the town."There's big history and it's quite a small town and it's quite a big part of the town," said spin bowler Jack Leach, "and you definitely get a feeling of that."All-rounder Craig Overton agreed: "It's that family that makes it all special."Everyone lives around Taunton which is that real community aspect. You walk into town and everyone knows who you are – it's that buzz that gets Taunton going, especially in the summer." 'We were in danger of winning something' It took 94 years however until Somerset clinched silverwear. In 1979, a squad led by Brian Rose and featuring West Indies stars Viv Richards and Joel Garner, plus Sir Ian Botham, Vic Marks and Derek Taylor among others, won the Gillette Cup final, beating Nottinghamshire by 45 runs. "I remember suddenly realising we were in danger of winning something - and I was there, as they always say, in 1979," Cleese said.A day later, Somerset won the 40-over National League Cup and over the years more trophies have followed including the Benson and Hedges Cup in 1981 and 1982, the One-Day Cup three more times in 1983, 2001 and 2019 and two T20 Blast titles in 2005 and 2023. "The one thing we all remembered was the first time we won a trophy," Botham said. "We won that at Lord's in a final and that's the one moment, that's when the whole thing turned around. "We were 100-odd years not winning anything, then suddenly bang, bang – [we won] two in a season – we were always in contention."It took us a long time to get to where we got to, but when we got there we made the most of it."We put Taunton on the map." The one thing which remains elusive however is the County Championship crown. Somerset, along with Northamptonshire, are the only two of the 18 first-class clubs to have never clinched the title. They have been runners-up six times - all in the past 25 years. "More silverware, a championship definitely - a few championships would be good," said current spin bowler Leach, when asked what he hopes the future holds."The fans deserve that and we're working hard to try and make that happen." Somerset legend Marcus Trescothick, who spent 26 years playing for the club and is the second-highest run-scorer in their history, said the future is an "exciting time". The women's team launched in 2025 while chief executive officer Jamie Cox has spoken about his desire to make the club "Hundred ready" in case the franchise academy also remains highly respected and is continuing to produce quality homegrown players, many of whom - such as Leach and Overton - have stepped up to England."I hope that we can help grow it and progress it in a fashion so we can get to a point where it's sustainable for hundreds of years to come," said Trescothick."We are going to need to advance certain things to keep up with the likes of the big teams."How are we going to do that is going to be a little bit of a challenge because of geographically where we are. "It's not the biggest supported county but we are a greatly supported county. We need to make sure we keep providing good cricket for them and the club can keep growing."

Dry weather to continue across most of UK as heatwave comes to an end
Dry weather is set to continue for most of the UK following last week's heatwave. Parts of the country could see temperatures reach 27C on Monday and Tuesday. A northeasterly breeze means northern and eastern parts of the UK will be cooler on these days, reaching up to the low-20s. Some showers with the odd rumble of thunder could hit south-west England and south Wales on Monday and Tuesday, but most places will be dry throughout the week. Wetter, windier and more unsettled weather may move in from the Atlantic by Bank Holiday Monday. The continued dry spell comes after officials warned England was suffering from 'nationally significant' water shortfalls, despite rain in July. Sunday's highest temperature was 27.7C in Somerset, while West Sussex and Inverness, Scotland, also reached 27C. Met Office meteorologist Greg Dewhurst said: 'Where people get the sunshine it'll still feel fairly pleasant, it'll just be a bit chillier than it has been of late.' He added: 'We had a couple of cooler days, yesterday (and) the day before. 'The odd spot here and there might be just holding on to a heatwave, but I think most places have dipped below their criteria and may have sort of come up again. 'I would say (the heatwave) finished over the weekend.' Clouds are expected to arrive later in the week and the cooler air in the north and east will travel towards southern and western areas. Maximum temperatures will fall to 23C to 24C by Wednesday and Thursday. But the temperatures could push back up to the high-20s by the weekend, particularly during sunny spells, caused by the winds turning southerly. The national drought group, which includes the Met Office, regulators, government, water companies and other organisations, said on Tuesday that it had met as five areas of the country remained in drought, with six more in prolonged dry weather status. England is seeing widespread environmental and agricultural impacts from the lack of water, which is hitting crop yields, reducing feed for livestock, damaging wetlands and river wildlife, and increasing wildfires, the group said. Experts warn climate change is driving more extreme weather conditions in the UK, worsening drought and dry spells, and making heatwaves more frequent and severe.
