JAKARTA - The year 2022 will be the warmest year in the UK, according to provisional figures from the national weather service Met Office. The record-breaking summer wave is the cherries that burned over 11 months of unusual hot weather in the UK.

That makes this year the hottest year in the UK since the annual recording began 139 years ago. The year 2022 will also top the list of the warmest years in the world's oldest instrumental temperature record, a series of temperatures from Central England that began 364 years ago. But the record set this year may not last long.

Unfortunately, due to climate change, the record set this year may not last long. The warmest ten years in the UK have all been going on since 2003, and researchers are seeing similar trends globally.

The last eight years have been on track to become the hottest eight years ever recorded, according to the World Meteorological Organization. And the Met Office has predicted that 2023 will be hotter than this year in terms of global average temperatures.

The warm year is in line with the real impacts we expect as a result of the climate change caused by humans. While that doesn't mean every year will be a record for the hottest, climate change continues to increase the chances of warmer years over the coming decades, said Mark McCarthy, head of the Met Office's National Climate Information Center, in a press release as quoted by The Verge.

The heat wave in July brought disaster to society that is accustomed to a cooler climate. For the first time, the Met Office issued a hot warning Red Extreme for some parts of England.

The data center also reported a failure of related cooling'. The rails and airport runways are bent under oppressing heat. Firefighters in England and Wales responded to an increase in forest fires triggered by unusual dry and hot weather. In England and Wales, there were 3,271 excess deaths this summer.

Britain recorded its highest daily maximum temperature, 40.3 degrees Celsius (104.54 Fahrenheit) in Coningsby, Lincolnshire on July 19. "It's almost impossible for mercury to rise above 40 degrees Celsius in the UK without human-induced climate change," McCarthy said in a statement last July.

But even that astonishing number alone isn't enough to make it a record-breaking year for England. "The temperature that broke records in July of course increased the overall temperature value for this year, but that's not the full story," McCarthy said in a statement today.

The year 2022 started with an explosion. January 1 is the warmest New Year's Day record in the UK, reaching 16.3 Celsius (61.34 degrees Fahrenheit) at St James's Park in London. According to the Met Office, in fact, every month of the year except December is warmer than the average.

Weather services still have a few days remaining to be documented before releasing the final figures on how hot it was this year. But it's clear that it has surpassed 2014, when previous records for annual average temperatures across the UK were set at 9.88 degrees Celsius (49.78 degrees Fahrenheit).
