Britain recorded its highest May temperature on record, the Met Office stated. The agency measured 35C in London, surpassing previous May highs.
The Met Office confirmed the figure through its official monitoring network. Readings were taken at multiple stations across the capital. Public spaces in London showed increased foot traffic as residents adjusted to the heat. Some people sought shade or purchased cold drinks during the afternoon hours.
