UK has hottest June on record

It has been reported that the UK has just experienced the hottest June on record for Northern Ireland and Wales, and the fourth-hottest for Scotland and England based on 24-hour mean temperatures, the Met Office said. The average maximum daytime temperature of 19.9C (67.8F) was the joint second-hottest, tied with June 1976 and just behind the 20.6C of June 1940, according to provisional figures.

Parts of south-east and central southern England also experienced their driest June on record, with 6% of expected rainfall. Essex had 1.7mm of rainfall, Dorset 2mm and Middlesex 0.7mm, the Met Office said.

It was the fourth sunniest June for the UK overall. Scotland recorded its highest temperature, 33.2C in Motherwell on 28 June, breaking the 32.9C set in August 2003 at Greycrook in the Borders.

Ladbrokes has the UK at 4-6 to hit 35C this week.
