Why is it so cold in June in the UK this year?
The UK experienced its warmest May on record in 2024, but the first two weeks of June have been much cooler than expected.
Experts say the cause is the Atlantic jet stream is bringing in cold air from Greenland and Iceland. It means that even when the sun is shining and UV radiation can be strong on any given day, the temperature "feels" much cooler.
When higher pressure fronts eventually move northward again, it will likely bring the far warmer than average weather seen in recent summers in the UK.
