Summary
UK just smashed its May heat record twice in a row, with London hitting over 35°C—way above old records from the 1920s and 1940s. This isn’t a fluke; it’s climate change in action, fueled by stubborn high pressure systems. Trains slowed down as tracks buckled, health services warned of strain, and sadly, several drownings occurred at beaches over the bank holiday. Add in yellow thunderstorm warnings in parts of England, and you’ve got a wild mix of extreme weather hitting everything from commutes to safety.
