LONDON, July 19: A provisional temperature of 40.2°C was recorded at Heathrow at 12.50 today which, if confirmed, will beat the previous record of 38.7°C set in 2019 by 1.5°C.
With temperatures continuing to climb through the afternoon we will have to wait to see what the new record will actually be. New temperature records could also be set for Wales and Scotland.
The first ever Red Extreme Heat warning is still in place across parts of England together with a larger Amber Extreme heat warning, covering much of England, Wales and southern Scotland. With the extreme heat today comes the risk of thunderstorms, particularly in parts of the southwest today and, later, the northeast of England. A Yellow Thunderstorm Warning has been issued for parts of the Southeast tomorrow.
