Last month was the hottest June on record for England, and the second warmest in Wales, the Met Office said.
Temperatures broke the previous record of 35.6C set in Southampton in June 1976 on three consecutive days last week, as weather bosses issued a rare “danger to life” red warning across parts of the UK. The new record temperature was provisionally set in Lingwood, in Norfolk, on Friday, with the mercury climbing to 37.7C.
