"The UK has broken its all-time temperature record for June and France has
recorded its hottest day ever for the second day running, as a heatwave
affecting more than 90 million people sweeps across swathes of Europe.
As the UK and France registered record-breaking temperatures, the World Health
Organization warned that the extreme temperatures are “putting lives at risk”.
Temperatures bolstered by climate breakdown hit 36.1C (97F) in Gosport,
Hampshire, according to provisional data from the UK Met Office. Earlier in the
afternoon 35.8C (96F) was logged at Wiggonholt in West Sussex.
France recorded its hottest day since measurements began in 1947 as the
temperature climbed slightly higher than the record set one day earlier. The
national weather service, Météo-France, said the country’s national heat index,
an average of the day- and night-time highs measured at 30 weather stations
across France, hit a new record of 30C (86F), the latest in a series of
never-before-registered highs.
The previous record of 29.4C (84.9F) was set during the heatwaves of August
2003 and July 2019."
