According to the Guardian, the country's earlier hottest day was reported on 17 July, with temperatures reaching 38.1C at Santon Downham in Suffolk, and 41C (105.8F) were forecast across Britain.

Furthermore, British authorities have called on people not to leave their houses due to the country's heat wave that is not only affecting the UK but is also hitting Europe causing deaths and massive wildfires.

Reports revealed that over 1,100 people have died of high temperatures and the unprecedented heat wave affecting Europe. Moreover, wildfires erupted across France, Spain, and Portugal forcing thousands of people to leave their homes fearing flames.

According to sources, this heat wave is the first of its kind especially in the UK as the highest temperatures recorded in the country were in 2019 when it reached 38.7C in Cambridge University Botanic Garden.
