Guys, the Met Office just predicted a ‘hotter than average’ summer with major heatwaves!

There’s nothing better than a cold pint on a sunny British day, and it looks like we’re going to be getting a lot of those over the next few months because the Met Office has just predicted an extra hot summer 2025.

The weather company told The Guardian the three-month forecast shows an “increased chance of a hot summer” and a higher chance of heatwaves too. I can already smell the BBQ.

In fact, they predicted the UK is 2.3 times more likely to be hotter between 1st June and 31st August than normal – more than twice as likely! This is “consistent with our warming climate”.

“The increased chance of hotter than average temperatures is not a guarantee of prolonged hot weather or heatwaves, but it does mean that heatwave conditions could be reached at times,” the Met Office said.

“However, it’s important to bear in mind that an increased chance of hot conditions could also reflect a mix of hot and cool days, warm nights, or less extreme levels of warmth rather than continual heatwave conditions specifically.”

Basically, they’re saying don’t get your hopes up and expect it to be sunbathing weather every day from now until September because you’ll be disappointed, but we are on track for a hotter-than-usual summer. Yay!

🌡️ ☀️ The UK has recorded its warmest and sunniest spring on record, according to provisional Met Office statistics.

Spring 2025 is now the 4th sunniest season overall for the UK, with only 3 summers sunnier since 1910.

The prediction comes after the UK recorded the warmest and sunniest spring ever, with a whopping 630 hours of sunshine since the start of March. That’s 43% more sunshine hours than average.

It’s also been the driest spring for more than 100 years with hardly any rainfall, and the sixth driest spring since records began.
