Today is the 20th day of the year in which a temperature of 32 °C or higher has been recorded in the UK - this exceeds the previous record of 19 days, set in 1995 📈
Most English and all Welsh counties experienced their driest July in at least the last 190 years.

We are going to have to learn how to adapt to these wild swings. They are going to get more frequent and more extreme
Meget varm dag med 34.5° i Aars. Det er delt 23. varmeste unikke dag i dansk vejrhistorie og delt 11. varmeste julidag.
Ved Hammerodde, hvor der er målt temperatur siden 1873, blev der målt 34.2°. Det er næsthøjeste temperatur målt ved Hammeren - og på Bornholm - overhovedet!
Severe drought has overtaken England and France, and satellite images showing the transformation of both countries from late May to late July are just shocking.
A vast swathe of the country from Kent all the way up to Teesside exceeded the old UK maximum temperature record of 38.7ºC 4 years ago; it was the first instance of the UK recording a temperature of ≥39 and 40ºC. One of the most anomalous UK weather events in recorded history.
9 days of >34°C
6 days of >35°C
We’re only on the 11th of July and those are the numbers so far this year.
This summer is likely to be in the top list of all summers on record in the UK, even if there was relatively ‘mediocre’ warmth from now on.
More temperature records tumbling here in the UK ...
1. 1st year recording 35C or more in 3 calendar months
2. 1st year recording 35C or more on 6 days
3. 1st year recording 34C or more on 9 days
And the incredible thing?... we're not even half way through summer yet!

This summer gives me many flashbacks to the intense heatwave-loaded summers in the Balkans such as those in 2012, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2024, where any temporary breakdown is set on a “rinse and repeat” cycle, despite the models showing some relief (still sceptical).
