The hottest temperature ever recorded in Britain makes the focal point of several front pages on a day when the heatwave triggered wildfires, people were urged to save water, and experts warned that we can expect more extreme heat in years to come.
The Mirror’s splash headline says “40C Britain’s burning” across a dramatic aerial picture of houses on fire in the village of Wennington on the eastern outskirts of London. A strap line across the top of the front page says “Hottest day in history”.
