How 2026 Became the Most Extreme Year for UK Weather

Описание: The weather in the UK has taken a turn that many of us weren't prepared for. While we're used to a bit of rain and grey skies, 2026 is looking completely different. We’re seeing a shift from the typical green countryside to record-breaking heat and unexpected floods that are changing the landscape faster than expected. In this first part of our look at the UK weather crisis, we dive into why these records are being shattered and what’s actually happening behind the scenes with our climate.

From the melting Arctic to the shifting Jet Stream, there are specific reasons why the UK is feeling the heat more than ever. We look at the data showing 40°C to 45°C peaks and why the warnings we heard years ago are finally becoming a reality. It’s not just about one hot summer; it’s about a pattern of extremes that is becoming the new normal for everyone living here.

Here is what we’re breaking down today:
Why the Jet Stream is behaving differently and how it affects UK rain
The connection between Arctic ice melt and our local weather patterns
How we went from manageable seasons to 45°C heatwaves and flash floods
The reality of the 'ignored warnings' and what the maps are telling us now
