The USA and Canada are experiencing the disaster due to cold air storms up to -45 degrees. Millions of people grapple with “once in a generation” severe cold and snowy weather. While the North American continent is experiencing its coldest year, the UK’s national meteorological service, the Met Office, announced that it is the warmest year in the country.
In the statement made on the Met Office website, it was stated that 2022, which saw the highest annual average temperature in the UK, is expected to exceed the record average of 9.88 degrees in 2014. It has been identified as the warmest year in 364 years in the central part of England.
EXTREME HEATS CREATED LIFE
In the central part of England, temperatures were above average every month of the year except December in 2022. Temperatures exceeding 40 degrees for the first time in summer in the country paralyzed life.
Coningsby and Lincolnshire, where the hottest temperature was recorded at 40.3 degrees, exceeded the previous UK record by 1.6 degrees. The Met Office issued its first red warning for the extreme heat in July.
Also, Wales recorded a maximum temperature record of 37.1 degrees Celsius, while Scotland hit a new record of 34.8 degrees Celsius. For central England, 2022 will be the warmest year on record in a 364-year temperature range.
THE RULE HAS HAPPENED
In addition to the record-breaking temperatures, one of the most striking points for 2022 was the dry conditions. Except for short periods in early January and late February, Britain’s total precipitation accumulation was below average throughout the year. Final figures for 2022 will be announced at the end of the year.
