The UK like much of europe is experiencing a heatwave that has seen July records broken across the continent. Today, 25th of July was the UK's turn to set a string of new record highs across the land including in the city of Sheffield that busted through it's previous July high of 36c and the UK previous highest temperature of 36.7c (July 1st at heathrow airport), even beating Met office forecasts of 38.5c by hitting 39.1c during the afternoon and likely a touch higher in some locations later in the afternoon as this video from Sheffield illustrates.
This is a harbinger of ever hotter summers as a consequence of climate change global warming, as the UK busting through 40c for a July day is inevitable. Whilst the UK looks set to definitely see temperatures of well over 40c in August as early as this year!
