It’s not only Brits that sweltered through balmy conditions last month. Globally, May 2025 was the second-hottest May on record, scientists at the the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) reveal. The global average air temperature for the month was 60.42°F (15.79°C), which is 0.95°F (0.53°C) above the 1991-2020 average for May.

Worryingly, experts point to human-cased greenhouse gas emissions as the cause for this latest temperature ‘anomaly’. It comes after the second-warmest April on record, the second-warmest March on record, the third-warmest February on record, and the warmest January on…

This they say, offers hope that sensory changes can be used as an early warning sign and help patients be diagnosed far sooner.They have now…
