What makes today’s warmest location?
The UK’s warmest spot today is typically in the south-east, where high pressure brings clear skies and light winds. London often leads because of its urban heat island effect and sheltered position. Elsewhere, places like Bristol and Birmingham see milder highs, while the north-west and Scotland remain cooler due to cloud and Atlantic influence.
How does the UK compare to global temperatures?
