Record for hottest May night broken in UK, while daytime temperature could hit 35C (95F)
26 May 2026
"It's official: England and Wales have seen their hottest-ever May days today - breaking records set just yesterday. The Met Office says that 35.1C was recorded in Kew Gardens, in London, with Cardiff's Bute Park seeing 32.9C.
"Ireland, too broke its May day record as temperatures at Shannon Airport edged into the 30s, with Met Éireann issuing yellow heat warnings across a number of counties into Wednesday.
"There's been little respite overnight, either, as restless sleepers in Kenley, London, saw 21.3C recorded last night.
"But this is the UK, so some areas are still chilly: In Shetland, tourists disembarking from a cruise ship were delighted by the sunny, 11C weather they found there.
"The extreme - and rare - heat, brought about by a so called '#HeatDome' that is encasing western Europe, is a sign of the fast-changing climate. Five days into the exceptional temperatures, NHS urgent care doctors are reporting more older patients in need of assistance. Calls to 999 are also ticking up.
"Elsewhere, authorities are warning bathers to be careful near water after four people died at English swimming spots over the bank holiday weekend.
"Fruit and vegetable farmers have warned that the heat is impacting crops, meaning they have to plan for how the changing climate affects their operations."

- The hottest May day in Wales has also been recorded, and Scotland and Northern Ireland have had their hottest days of the year so far
- In England, amber heat health alerts are in place for many areas until Wednesday, while in Sussex and Kent, South East Water says "very high demand" has led to supply interruptions
