A sweltering spring heatwave has brought record May temperatures across the UK, including 34.8°C at Kew Gardens on 25 May and 35.1°C on 26 May, both exceeding the previous May record of 32.8°C set in 1922 and 1944. Temperatures are expected to ease over the following days, though more peak temperatures in the 30s are possible in southern areas. The heat is linked to an area of high pressure over the UK, which allows heat to build day by day with little cloud or rain. While further warm weather is expected at points during summer, small weather changes can produce significantly different conditions, making exact timing and peak temperatures unpredictable.
""It's simply not possible to predict a precise peak temperature for the UK this summer. While the recent warm weather has been provisionally record-breaking for May, this doesn't impact the likely conditions through summer as a whole. Just small changes in the weather can lead to significantly different conditions throughout the summer. So while we can say that we obviously expect further warm weather at points during the summer, it's not possible to say exactly where or when.""
