UK Records Heatwave as Parts of England Hit Historic Highs for May The sweltering heat that has engulfed parts of England is not just an inconvenient nuisance; it's also a harbinger of things to come.
Temperatures soared to historic highs, prompting the UK's Met Office to declare a heatwave with several regions experiencing temperatures above 27°C for three consecutive days.
The irony is stark: while England basks in sunshine, its climate crisis deepens. The Met Office has long warned that human induced climate change increases the likelihood of extreme heat events.
