Read our privacy policy The heatwave was the UK’s most intense and widespread – with the Met Office saying it was a climate milestone with “much more widespread and significant heat than previous noteworthy extreme heat events”. The forecaster’s Mike Kendon said: “The high temperature values were obviously exceptional but the widespread nature is also very significant and makes this recent heatwave stand above the crowd when it comes to recent heat events that have impacted the UK.” Temperatures on July 18 and 19 topped 38C, which had only happened before in the UK on August 10 2003 and July 25 2019, according to Met Office data which uses observations stretching back to the mid-19th century. “Even when you factor in the temperatures seen in summer 1976, they didn’t reach anywhere near the levels seen this week, although that was a much more prolonged spell of hot and dry weather.” Some 46 observation stations across the UK recorded temperatures above the previous UK record of 38.7C, the Met Office said. Met Office chief scientist Professor Stephen Belcher said: “In a climate unaffected by human influence, climate modelling shows that it is virtually impossible for temperatures in the UK to reach 40C.
