Summary
UK swelters under record-breaking heatwave as temperatures soar to 32.3°C in Kew Gardens — the hottest May day in 79 years — with forecasts pushing toward 34°C in London and the southeast, potentially shattering bank holiday heat records. A nationwide heat health alert warns vulnerable groups, especially seniors, to stay indoors between 11 AM and 3 PM and cool down with baths or showers. Eight regions including Heathrow and Suffolk are officially in heatwave conditions, with nights staying uncomfortably warm above 20°C. Scientists link the extreme May heat to human-caused climate change, making such events far more common. While the south bakes, northwest Scotland offers relief with clouds and breeze. Stay hydrated, seek shade, and brace for a scorcher. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
