The warmest decade on record is the 2010s (2011–2020) with a mean temperature of 10.40 °C (50.72 °F). [5] [a] Both the general warming trend [6] and the hottest year on record at the time, 2014, [7] have been attributed to human-caused climate change using observational and climate model-based techniques. This record was subsequently broken ...
He assembled the Central England temperature (CET) series of monthly mean temperatures stretching back to 1659, which is the longest standardised instrumental record available for anywhere in the world. It provides a benchmark for proxy records of climatic change for the period covered, and is a notable example of scientific scholarship and ...

By 2021, YouGov recorded that 72% of Britons believe that climate change is caused by human activity, which had increased from 49% in 2013. [126] According to the Office for National Statistics, as of October 2021, 75% of British adults said that they either very or somewhat worried about climate change, whilst 19% were neither worried or ...
The data shows that the U.K. recorded an annual average temperature of 10.03 degrees Celsius (about 50 degrees Fahrenheit) last year, beating the old record of 9.88 degrees Celsius ...
The instrumental temperature record only covers the last 150 years at a hemispheric or global scale, and reconstructions of earlier periods are based on climate proxies. In an early attempt to show that climate had changed, Hubert Lamb's 1965 paper generalised from temperature records of central England together with historical, botanical, and ...
Series of reliable temperature measurements in some regions began in the 1850—1880 time frame (this is called the instrumental temperature record). The longest-running temperature record is the Central England temperature data series, which starts in 1659. The longest-running quasi-global records start in 1850. [3]
The highest temperature during the 1976 heatwave was 35.9 °C (96.6 °F), 0.8 °C below the record at the time of 36.7 °C (98.1 °F) set on 9 August 1911. [17] As of 2022, 1976 has the 13th hottest day in UK history. [18] In the Central England Temperature series, 1976 is the hottest
