The United Kingdom experienced its warmest day of the year on Monday, with temperatures reaching 36.7C (98.06F) in Merryfield, Somerset. This marked the hottest June day ever recorded in the UK. Forecasters predict the unusually warm weather will continue, with the possibility of the UK’s warmest night on record. The high temperatures are causing concern for vulnerable populations and prompting health warnings. Authorities advise people to stay hydrated, seek shade, and avoid strenuous activity during peak heat. The heatwave is attributed to a high-pressure system drawing warm air from continental Europe. Further temperature records could be broken in the coming days.
