The UK registered its warmest June since records began, according to the Met Office. The announcement comes amid a broader European heat wave that has set multiple national records this month.
The UK Met Office confirmed Wednesday that June 2026 was the warmest June on record for the country. The announcement follows a series of extreme heat events across Europe this month, including all-time June highs in Paris (40.9°C) and France's hottest day since 1947, as The Zioneer has reported. Earlier in the month, the UK had recorded a June high of 36.9°C in Suffolk, but the new record refers to the monthly average.
