Temperature records are set to be broken in the UK this week, with 43C a possibility. The previous highest recorded temperature in the UK was in Cambridge on July 25, 2019 – 38.7C
On Monday and Tuesday, London is expected to be hotter than the Caribbean and Western Sahara. And the whole of the UK will experience hotter-than-normal conditions.
If a new record of 40C-plus is seen this week, that would be a remarkable leap. And it will underline the dangers we will face because of climate change.
