Provisional figures show that this month is on track to be the hottest June on record in a series which goes back to 1884, according to the Met Office.
While the forecast for the next few days shows an unsettled picture with temperatures closer to average, it is not likely to be enough to prevent June 2023 being provisionally the UK’s hottest June on record, beating the previous record set in 1940. It would even beat the infamous warmth of June 1976, which is currently the second warmest June on record.
Temperatures in some parts of Wales reached more than 30C degrees on some days in June, and Porthmadog was the hottest place in the UK on several occasion. Find out why here.
