England's Warmest June On Record Predicted & July is the Driest in 190 Years

Provisional Met Office statistics show that June 2026 was England’s warmest June on record for average mean temperature, while the UK and Wales recorded their second warmest June in a series dating back to 1884.

Spring this year was the warmest on record for England and Wales, and the third warmest for the UK, due in part to an exceptionally early and record-breaking heatwave at the end of May. According to the Met Office.

Early provisional Met Office statistics, covering the period up to and including 30 July, show that both England and Wales are on course to record their driest July in 190 years, with several counties across England having seen less than 1mm of rainfall during the entire month.
