Summary
UK just shattered June heat records for three straight days, with Friday hitting 37.3°C — the hottest June day ever — before thunderstorms and cooling temperatures arrive. Southeast England remains hottest, but the rest of the country is shifting fast. Hospitals declared critical incidents, schools shut down, and scientists blame climate change for making extreme heatwaves more likely. Leicester cools from 30°C to low 20s by next week, with rain Sunday morning and cooler weather ahead — a dramatic turn from record-breaking heat.
