In conversation with Laura Baker: Comparing the UK’s hot summers – 1976 vs 2025
Climate scientist Laura Baker compares the hot and dry summers of 1976 and 2025.
We seek to understand our atmosphere, how it is changing, and how it impacts life on earth.
We address global challenges, through our science and our services, helping society adapt to environmental change.
