Climate scientists have called for 'immediate action' to tackle global warming -following the news that Britain has recorded its hottest spring on record.
According to the Met Office, which has been recording temperature data since 1884, spring 2025 was officially the warmest and sunniest on UK record.
The three months running from March to May marked an 'unprecedented season of warmth and sunshine', it said on Monday.
Many Brits enjoyed the balmy weather, with some even braving the UK beaches for a dip.
However, Alec Hutchings, WWF's chief climate advisor, says the record confirms that climate change is 'here now and needs immediate action'.

We are experiencing more and more extreme temperatures every season. This is not natural.

I wonder what this summer will bring.

A series of wildfires burning across central Canada sent smoke billowing into the U.S. over the weekend, with few signs that the blazes will subside anytime soon.

The largest fires are burning in Manitoba, but due to prevailing wind patterns, plumes of smoke drifted southward, reaching as far as the Gulf Coast.

Satellites captured stunning imagery as smoke appeared to embed itself around a storm system moving through the East.

According to air quality readings across the Lower 48, the smoke was most hazardous across the Plains and the Upper Midwest, with moderate levels reaching as far south as Georgia and the Carolinas.
