England Faces Unprecedented May Heatwave: 35C Temperatures Shatter Records
Temperatures are set to reach an unprecedented 35C in parts of England on Monday, potentially breaking the May temperature record by a significant margin of 2.2C. This follows a record-breaking May overnight temperature of 19.4C, with London narrowly missing a “tropical night.” Many areas are officially experiencing heatwave conditions, a trend amplified by the climate crisis which is making such events more intense and frequent, with hot temperatures expected to persist and potentially worsen later in the summer.
