2016 is set to be the warmest year on record, according to a global forecast by the Met Office.
The Met Office provides a large range of forecasts and warnings to help make learned decisions about the day to day activities.
This year has already been temporarily declared the warmest on a record because of the combination of global warming and a strong El Nino that the weather experienced.
“2015 is on track to be the warmest year on record, and this forecast suggests 2016 is likely to be at least as warm, if not warmer.” Said Professor Chris Folland of Met Office research.
The forecast for the year 2016 is higher than the predictions for 2015 made a year ago, which recommended temperatures would be 0.52C to 0.76C above the year of 1961 to 1990 long-term average.
Met Office said it does not foresee the record-breaking run to continue indefinitely, but it shows how the global warming can mix with the smaller and natural variation such as El Nino that push the climate to uncommon levels of warmth weather.
Last year, the forecast for the year 2015 predicted a central estimated of 0.64 above the average.
Observational records from January to October this year shows the global mean temperature so far this year is running at 0.72 above the year of 1961 to 1990.
The year 2014 also recorded as one of the hottest years, according to Professor Adam Scaife, head of a long-range prediction at the Met Office.
"This forecast suggests that by the end of 2016 we will have seen three records or near-record, years in a row for global temperatures."
The Met Office said that the climb in temperature anticipated for the next year may not continue forever and may slip back under 1 degree over the coming years.
The unseasonal warmth for mid-December has left burning Brits leaving their hats and gloves at home as spring flowers such as daffodils, equally confused by the balmy weather, have also been seen up and down the country.
