Laura Tobin predicts summer 2022 will reach record-breaking highs with hot spell

Laura Tobin has predicted that this summer in the UK will reach 'record-breaking highs' as temperatures continue to soar amid the climate crisis.

The Good Morning Britain star, 40, has said that she wouldn't be surprised if British people experienced highs of almost 40-degrees this summer as we've seen March temperatures reach a whopping 20-degrees.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror about her predictions, Laura told: "We always say the weather has a memory. So, we'll often look back to previous ones. But I think we will have a prolonged hot spell.

"I think - like we have done nearly every single year - get to, or close to record-breaking highs.

"There will definitely be records broken. Maybe records for like different towns and cities and villages - but the chances of us breaking the highest temperature on record - which was something like 38.7 degrees - is very high and I can see it happening."

Laura added: "There is at least a 50% chance that we will break it this summer."

Despite the fact that the majority of UK citizens would be overjoyed by Laura's admission, the broadcast meteorologist has insisted that there is no such thing as 'good' or 'bad' weather.

The ITV star revealed that from the very start of her career, she was taught to never assume or use the terms 'good and bad weather' - due to the fact some people hate the sun, while others lap it up.

"I was always taught when I was broadcasting the weather and presenting the weather to never say 'good weather' or 'bad weather', because actually, weather is in the eye of each beholder and completely different to everyone," Laura explained.

"So, farmers love a bit of rain sometimes throughout the year and don't want it at other times of the year.

"Some people are desperate for rain because they want their crops, vegetables, and gardens to grow.

"But then people prefer to have sunshine and dry weather at the weekend because they want to get out and about. And others hate the heat because it's too much to deal with - so everybody is different when it comes to weather and we can never assume."

Laura's UK summer predictions come as the meteorologist has penned a brand-new book - Every Day Ways To Save Our Planet.

The aim of Laura's inspiring book is to encourage others to make small changes in their every day life in a bid to help the planet.

The ITV star has shared hundreds of tips on how to save the planet from eating one or two vegetarian meals a week instead of eating meat seven days a week, educating on food waste, water savings, and recycling.

Laura has vowed to help save the planet by encouraging others to listen to scientists and take action every day.

Laura Tobin: Everyday Ways To Save Our Planet, RRP £14.99, is out on 7 April and published by Mirror Books.
