Warmest New Year's Eve recorded in Somerset ushers in 2022

Dec 31,2021 7:14 pm

Britain has seen its hottest New Year 's Eve ever with temperatures reaching 15. 8C (60. 4F) in The West of England, the Met Office has said.

The previous record of 14. 8C (58. 6F) in Colwyn Bay , Wales, in 2011 was toppled this afternoon in Somerset.

Temperatures will continue to rise across England before dropping at night as the UK rings in 2022.

Areas of southern and eastern England including The West Country and London will see the mildest weather.

The Met Office said the extremely mild spell was driven by a flow of warm, moist air from the Canary Islands .

Met Office spokesperson Stephen Dixon said The First reading taken at Ryehill in East Yorkshire at 11:00 GMT had " provisionally broken the New Year 's Eve record".

" Our station at Ryehill, a small village in East Yorkshire has recorded 14. 9C (58. 8F) today, which tops the previous record of 14. 8C (58. 6F). "

That figure has since risen to 15. 8C (60. 4F) and was last recorded at the Met Office 's station in Merryfield in southwest Somerset.

The Met Office said The Weather was forecast to get cooler from Tuesday, potentially bringing wintry showers and frosts.

New Years Day Records

The highest UK daytime temperature recorded on New Year 's Day is 15. 6C (60F) in Bude, Cornwall, in 1916.

Met Office chief forecaster Steve Ramsdale said: " The current weather pattern is bringing extremely mild conditions to the UK - perhaps reaching around 16. 0C (60. 8F) in some parts.

" We also expect some very mild overnight temperatures as well with minimum temperature records being broken in places. "

The Met Office added the warm spell has the potential to Challenge Records for New Year 's Day, creating the unusual situation of one weather system perhaps breaking weather records for Two Days in separate calendar years.
