UK enters a new climate era as extreme heat becomes the norm, Met Office warns

The United Kingdom has entered a fundamentally different climate regime, with rising temperatures and increasingly frequent extreme weather events redefining what is considered normal, according to a new report from the Met Office. The assessment concludes that the country's climate has changed......

Record heatwave linked to thousands of excess deaths across Europe

A record-breaking heatwave that swept across Western Europe in late June has been linked to a sharp rise in mortality, highlighting the growing human cost of extreme weather associated with climate change. According to official mortality monitoring data, more than 10,000 excess deaths were recorded......

Climate change accelerates global rise in antimicrobial resistance, experts warn

Experts are warning that climate change is increasingly acting as a powerful driver of antimicrobial resistance, one of the fastest-growing threats to global public health. New scientific findings suggest that rising temperatures and shifting rainfall patterns are accelerating the evolution and spread......

Ocean temperatures hit record highs in June, raising concerns over extreme summer heat

Global ocean surface temperatures reached unprecedented levels in June 2026, reinforcing scientific concerns that the coming months could bring even more intense heatwaves and climate disruptions, according to the European Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). The agency reported that the global......

UN warns of accelerating sea level rise driven by climate change

The United Nations has issued a stark warning about the accelerating rise in global sea levels, describing it as one of the most urgent environmental challenges of the 21st century. In a recent report, UN experts highlight that sea levels are rising at an increasingly rapid pace, driven primarily by......

Study warns compound climate extremes are accelerating beyond forecasts

Rare compound weather disasters such as simultaneous heatwaves and droughts or overlapping floods and extreme rainfall are increasing faster than climate models previously projected, according to a new study published in Nature. Researchers found that the frequency of these combined climate extremes......

Study finds 36 percent of animal habitats face multiple climate extremes by 2085

A new study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution warns that more than one third of terrestrial animal habitats could be exposed to multiple climate extremes by 2085 if greenhouse gas emissions remain high. The research highlights the growing overlap of heatwaves, wildfires, droughts and floods,......
