#AceWeatherDesk – The average annual temperature in 2022 was more than 10C for the first time, the national weather service said.

We can now confirm that 2022 was the UK’s hottest year on record & the first time the average annual temperature has been over 10°C

An attribution study has also shown climate change made this around 160 times more likely

— Met Office (@metoffice) January 5, 2023

The mean temperature across the 12 months was 10.03C – topping the previous all-time high of 9.88C in 2014.

It means 15 of the UK’s top 20 warmest years on record have all occurred this century – with the entire top 10 within the past two decades.

Dr Mark McCarthy, head of the Met Office National Climate Information Centre, said: “Although an arbitrary number, the UK surpassing an annual average temperature of 10C is a notable moment in our climatological history.

“This moment comes as no surprise, since 1884 all the 10 years recording the highest annual temperature have occurred from 2003.

“It is clear from the observational record that human-induced global warming is already impacting the UK’s climate.” 

All four nations set records for heat in 2022, with England seeing the highest average temperature at 10.94C, followed by Wales (10.23C), Northern Ireland (9.85C) and Scotland (8.50C).

• Met Office forecasts 2023 will be hotter than 2022
• Is the UK getting hotter?
• A really simple guide to climate change 

A spell of heatwaves in June 2022 led to the UK experiencing its fourth warmest summer on record – and temperatures broke the 40C mark for the first time, leading the Met Office to issue its first-ever red warning for extreme heat. 

The record of 40.3C was recorded at Coningsby in Lincolnshire on 19 July.

The hot summer and months of low rainfall dried up rivers, damaged crops and fuelled wildfires, with an official drought declared in large parts of England. 

The Met Office said that a UK mean temperature of 10C would have been expected once in 500 years in a natural climate – before humans started producing the emissions that are responsible for climate change through activities such as burning fossil fuels.

But it said this was now likely to occur every three to four years.

A recent report on climate extremes in the UK found that recent years have seen both higher maximum temperatures and longer warm spells.

That trend is predicted to continue. It is possible that by 2100, the UK could see 40C days every three to four years.

By this point, the Met Office added – with medium levels of greenhouse gas emissions – the 10C average temperature could occur almost every year.
