# UK Heatwave Breaks Records as Temperatures Reach 36.7°C The United Kingdom experienced its hottest day of 2026 on Thursday as temperatures climbed to 36.7°C in Somerset. Weather experts have also warned that the country could see its warmest June night ever, with overnight temperatures expected to remain unusually high. According to provisional weather data, Merryfield in Somerset recorded the highest temperature of the day. The figure surpassed previous records and marked the hottest day of June this year. ## Extreme Heat Warning Remains in Effect Authorities have kept a rare red extreme heat warning in place across parts of England and Wales. The alert covers southern, central, and western regions and highlights serious risks linked to prolonged high temperatures. Officials extended the warning for a third consecutive day, the first time such an extension has occurred. Millions of people in London and southeastern England remain affected by the alert. ## Warm Nights Add to Heatwave Challenges The heatwave has created difficult conditions across the country. Many residents struggled to sleep as temperatures stayed exceptionally high overnight. Wednesday night became the warmest June night on record in the UK after temperatures in Cardiff remained above 23.5°C. The previous June record stood at 22.7°C and had been in place since 1976. Forecasters believe Thursday night could challenge or even surpass that record as hot air continues to dominate much of the country. ## Schools, Water Restrictions and Travel Disruption The ongoing heatwave has already caused widespread disruption. Several schools closed because of the extreme conditions, while water companies introduced hosepipe restrictions for some customers in Kent. Transport services also faced delays and disruptions as infrastructure struggled to cope with the intense heat. ## Rain and Thunderstorms Expected Weather conditions are expected to change gradually. Forecasters predict periods of heavy rain across Scotland, moving southeast during the evening. Thunderstorms may also develop in southwestern areas before spreading inland. While these conditions could bring temporary relief, many regions are likely to remain very warm. ## Record Temperatures Across All UK Nations Every nation within the UK recorded its highest temperature of the year on Thursday. England reached 36.7°C in Merryfield, Somerset, setting a new June benchmark for 2026. Wales recorded 35.6°C in Cardiff's Bute Park, making it the hottest June day ever recorded in the nation. The previous June record was 33.7°C. Scotland recorded its highest temperature of the year at 31.2°C in Threave, Dumfries and Galloway. Northern Ireland also experienced its hottest day of 2026, reaching 30.0°C in Castlederg, County Tyrone. ## Heatwave Continues to Grip the UK Meteorologists continue to monitor the situation closely as the heatwave affects millions of people across the country. With temperatures remaining unusually high both day and night, health officials are urging residents to stay hydrated, avoid prolonged sun exposure, and take precautions during the extreme weather conditions.

UK Heatwave Warning: Temperatures May Reach 40C as Rare Red Alert Issued Extreme heat alert across England and Wales A rare red weather warning has been issued for parts of England and Wales as an intense heatwave is expected to push temperatures close to 40C later this week. The alert covers London, southern England, the Midlands, and parts of south east Wales. The Met Office has warned that the conditions could cause major disruption and serious health risks. When the heatwave will peak The red warning is in place from Wednesday morning to Thursday night, with the highest temperatures expected during this period. Forecasters say highs could reach 39C to 40C in some areas, especially across southern England. An amber warning is also active across much of central and southern England and most of Wales from Monday through Thursday. Travel disruption and daily life impact Officials expect widespread disruption to transport, schools, and daily routines. Some schools have already announced early closures due to safety concerns. High humidity will make the heat feel even more intense, increasing discomfort and risk for people outdoors or without cooling. Health risks and official warnings Health experts have warned that this level of heat can cause serious illness, especially for older adults, young children, and people with existing health conditions. The UK Health Security Agency has issued a red heat health alert for several regions. It is only the second time such a warning has been used for heat. Dr Agostinho Sousa, a senior health protection official, urged people to take the warning seriously and check on vulnerable family members and neighbours. Night temperatures and tropical nights Temperatures may remain unusually high overnight, staying above 21C to 22C in some areas. These are known as tropical nights and can increase health strain because the body does not cool down properly. How this compares to UK records If temperatures reach 40C, they would come close to the UK’s highest recorded temperature of 40.3C, which was recorded in 2022. That record remains the highest temperature ever measured in the country.

Amber Extreme Heat Warning Issued as 35C Heatwave Approaches Amber Heat Warning Covers Parts of UK The Met Office has issued an amber extreme heat warning for parts of southern and eastern England and south Wales. The alert is in place for Monday and Tuesday. Temperatures may rise to around 35C. Nights will stay warm in many areas, with some places remaining above 20C. The Met Office says this heat event could affect both people and essential services. It also warns that conditions may worsen for vulnerable groups. Temperature Forecast Across the UK The heat will build over several days. Friday will bring highs of 31C to 32C in south east England. Northern and western regions will stay cooler, with some rain expected. On Saturday, slightly cooler air will move in from the west. Temperatures may still reach 27C to 28C. From Sunday, the heat will return and intensify. By Monday and Tuesday, many areas in England and Wales may see temperatures between 30C and 35C. Forecasters say many regions could meet official heatwave conditions. There is also a chance that the June UK temperature record of 35.6C could be challenged. Health Risks and Public Impact Health officials warn of several risks linked to the heat. People may face sunburn, heat exhaustion, and dehydration. High humidity will make conditions feel more uncomfortable. Warm nights may reduce sleep quality because temperatures may not fall below 20C in some areas. The UK Health Security Agency has also issued heat health alerts for southern and eastern England. These alerts highlight pressure on health and social care services and a possible rise in heat related illness. Travel, Safety, and Daily Disruption Authorities expect travel delays in some regions. Road and rail networks may also face disruption due to high temperatures. People heading to beaches, lakes, or rivers are advised to take care around water. Sun exposure will be strong, with very high UV levels expected. Pollen levels are also likely to be high, which may affect allergy sufferers. Risk of Record Breaking Heat Meteorologists say this could become one of the most significant June heat events in years. The UK could come close to breaking its June record temperature. Conditions will stay hot, humid, and uncomfortable through the early part of the week.
