The UK set a provisional June temperature record of 37.7C on Friday – even higher than previously thought – as parts of the UK sweltered in a punishing heatwave.
The Met Office said an update received over the weekend of 37.7C measured at Lingwood in Norfolk, east of Norwich, beats the 37.3C recorded at Santon Downham in Suffolk on Friday, and is a provisional new June temperature record for the UK.
