UK heatwave brings hottest June day for 40 years
Temperature hits 34.5C at Heathrow as heat brings health warnings of toxic air in large parts of southern England and Wales
Britain experienced its hottest June day for 40 years on Wednesday as the mercury hit 34.5C at Heathrow, the Met Office said.
The temperature at Heathrow has reached 33.9 °C! Not only making it the #hottestdayoftheyearsofar but also the hottest June day since 1976
It was the highest June temperature since the 35.6C recorded in Southampton on 28 June 1976, the hottest day of the year so far and the first time the mercury hashit 30C or over on five consecutive days in June since 1995
While many have been basking in the sun, the heat has brought health warnings of toxic air in large parts of southern England and Wales.
NHS England has urged the elderly, children and those with medical conditions to keep cool and hydrated during the heatwave.
The
weather is set to take an almighty turn as the record-breaking
heatwave is followed by more snow , despite being well into spring
Just
as Brits finally dug out flip flops and sunglasses to revel in
glorious record-breaking 29C heat, forecasters are warning of
incoming SNOW .
By
the middle of next week temperatures are set to tumble, with risk of
frost and wintry showers as cooler air heads towards the UK.
Temperatures
could even drop as low as -2 or -3C in parts of Scotland.
The
threat of snow is possible across parts of Scotland, Wales, and
northern England, forecasters say.
It
will be a big contrast from this week's gorgeous warm and sunny
weather which brought summer-like highs to the UK - even up north.
Yesterday
was the hottest April day for 69 years, and today the sizzling
temperatures have continued.
But
sadly, it is set to be short-lived as yet more topsy-turvy weather
heads closer.
Leon
Brown, chief forecaster at The Weather Channel, said: “It will be
quite a lot colder from the middle of next week for the west and
northwest.
