Yesterday, the UK maximum temperature record was 38.7 C - set in Cambridge in 2019.
Today, more than 30 locations have exceeded that - from London to North Yorkshire.
And the previous UK record has been beaten by more than 1.5 C.
#BREAKING ⚠️🥵 London just reached 104° today, their hottest temperature ever recorded. The city, which is farther north than even Calgary, Canada, normally has a high of 74° this time of the year and only 3% of the population has A/C. @WINKNews#London
