UK Heatwave Shatters Records | Sheffield News

UK’s scorching summer is here to stay — for now. Eleven straight days of 30°C+ heat, with 35°C already recorded in May, June, and July — a first for 2026. A stubborn high-pressure system keeps it dry and blistering, though a northerly shift may bring cooler air later this week. England leads the pack, 2.4°C above average, with Wales close behind. Even overnight temps are breaking records, and humidity is making it feel even worse. Summer’s only halfway — and this could be the hottest one yet.
