The UK has recorded its hottest day of 2025 so far, with temperatures reaching 33.6°C in Frittenden, Kent, at 13:00 BST, surpassing earlier highs of 33.5°C in East Malling and 33.2°C in Surrey. Forecasters expect temperatures to rise further, possibly reaching 34°C or even 35°C in parts of Kent and London, though cloud cover in the capital may limit the heat. July typically brings high temperatures, but climate experts warn of more intense heatwaves as global temperatures rise. The UK’s highest July temperature ever was 40.3°C in Coningsby, Lincolnshire, in 2022. More regional forecasts are expected later today. (PC: BBC)
