London temperatures exceeded 35 degrees Celsius on both May 25 and 26, breaking the UK May temperature record two days in a row. The previous record had stood since 1922.
On May 25th, London's Kew Gardens recorded a temperature of 34.8 degrees Celsius, breaking the UK's May temperature record. The next day, temperatures rose again, with Kew Gardens recording 35.1 degrees Celsius, updating the record once more. The previous time the UK experienced such high May temperatures was in 1922, when the highest temperature was 32.8 degrees Celsius. Many British people went to parks or the seaside to cool off. The government reminded everyone to drink more water and avoid going out during the hottest times of day.
