England's warmest June ever after record-breaking heatwave
The Met Office said the month’s 17.1C average beat the 2025 record, while a 37.7C peak and rare red warnings disrupted schools and transport.
- England experienced its hottest June since records began in 1884, with the Met Office confirming an average temperature of 17.1C and a peak of 37.7C provisionally reached in Lingwood, Norfolk.
- Climate change was "unequivocally" responsible for the heatwave's intensity, the World Weather Attribution group of scientists said last week, adding such exceptional temperatures would have been "virtually impossible" 50 years ago.
- The intense heat disrupted daily life across the UK, closing more than 1,000 schools and nurseries while straining public transport systems as overhead wires and signalling equipment failed.
- Weather officials issued rare red warnings during the heatwave, while a new yellow heat health alert now covers the south of England and the Midlands as more hot weather approaches this weekend.
- Scientists warn that extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and intense due to climate change, prompting experts to urge government infrastructure adaptation as air conditioning remains rare in British homes.
