Temperatures broke all-time records across the UK yesterday (July 19) as the current heatwave continues. The mercury hit 40.2 at London Heathrow in a first for the UK as many sought relief from the sweltering conditions.
A number of schools sent children home at lunchtime, while many train services were suspended. Many took to social media for their tips and hacks for keeping cool with England and Wales under a “red” extreme heat warning.
Roads were reported to be melting, fires broke out across cities and chocolate was seen melting on supermarket shelves. With the country struggling through two days of this extreme heat, should we be better prepared for the next one?
