Yes, they are.
You could reasonable argue that those figures indicate a trend of UK summers getting a bit warmer.
You could also reasonable make a case for global warming to at least be partly responsible for that trend.
Blaming a two day heatware on Global Warming is simply a ridiculous claim.
Half of the UKs coldest winters since the 1900's seem to have been in the last few years - 2009, 2010 & 2021 (The other half being in 1947, 1962 & 1982).
I guess it must be Global Cooling ...
LSS: You can make a case for anything with a few carefully picked figures.
Btw, the UK (and Europe) had a 200+ year extra warm period, known as the 'Medieval Warm Period'.
Global Warming and CO2 were not involved. It was later followed by the 'Little Ice Age' for about 400 years.
