Met Office Records Hottest Temperatures Since 2006
The Met Office has recorded the hottest temperatures since 2006 in England.
Data taking today 1 July in parts of the southeast and central areas of the UK have seen temperatures rise over 30 degrees.
Other regions have already experienced 34 degrees, with London expected to reach 35 or 36 degrees.
A level three 'heatwave action' heat-health alert has been declared for all parts of England.
The hottest temperature on record for the month of July is 36.5 degrees at Wisley, Surrey on 19 July in 2006.
Chief Meteorologist Steve Willington said: "Both Tuesday and Wednesday nights are expected to be warm and humid temperatures remaining in the high teens in many places, possibly low 20s Celsius in parts of southeast England.
"The very warm air means there is a risk of us seeing thunderstorms on Wednesday or Thursday but the exact timing and location of those storms, if they happen, is uncertain at the moment."
