The UK recorded its hottest September ever with average temperatures of 22°C, significantly higher than the previous 1895 record of 20.9°C. The unusual September warmth, over 3.6°C above normal, is forecast to continue as the UK braces for a potential October heatwave. The UK wasn't alone as countries across Europe logged their hottest Septembers, attributed to greenhouse gases and El Niño effects. Globally, record highs are expected over the next five years per the World Meteorological Organization. As the UK reels from its hottest September and prepares for more October heat, the records underscore climate change's growing impact ahead of COP28 climate talks.
