The United Kingdom recorded its hottest June day on record as temperatures surged to 36.4°C, according to the UK Met Office. The new milestone surpassed the previous June record and came amid an intense heatwave affecting large parts of the country. Meteorologists attributed the extreme temperatures to a combination of persistent high-pressure systems and hot air moving north from continental Europe. Health authorities issued warnings urging residents to stay hydrated, avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and monitor vulnerable populations. The record-breaking heat has raised fresh concerns about the growing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events linked to climate change, with scientists warning that such temperature spikes are becoming increasingly common.
