Summary
Over 850 UK schools shut down today as a punishing heatwave hits, with temperatures soaring to 40°C and rare red warnings issued. Schools are closing early, switching to online classes, or sending kids home midday to protect students’ health. Some let kids wear PE kits, and after-school activities are canceled. Officials are watching closely as Europe braces for the heat dome’s impact — forcing a rethink of how schools operate in extreme weather.
