Last year was the UK’s warmest since records began in 1910, the Met Office has said.

This year’s record means that eight of the UK’s top ten warmest years have happened since 2002.

But no month saw record temperatures – instead each month was consistently warm, according to the Met Office.

Met Office analysis also shows 2014 was the UK’s fourth wettest year, with 1,297.1 millimetres of rainfall. A large contribution to the high annual rainfall total came from very wet weather in January and February.
