AS we wind down the last few hours of 2020, the Met Office says this year has been one of extremes with the wettest February on record, the sunniest spring, a heatwave in the summer and a day in October breaking rainfall records.
With just a few hours left on the clock, 2020 looks likely to be the third or fourth warmest on record. This makes it clear that the general trend of warming as a consequence of climate change is being seen, not just at a global level, but in our own national temperature records.
Not only will 2020 be one of the top five hottest on record for the UK, but also it will be one of the top ten wettest and the top ten sunniest years.
