UK chalks up hottest summer on record for second year running
Britain experienced its hottest summer on record for the second year in a row, the UK's national weather agency announced Tuesday, after weeks of successive heatwaves and widespread drought conditions. Record-breaking heatwaves in May and June led to an estimated 2,877 excess deaths in England, according to the UK's Health Security Agency, almost double the tally of the whole of the summer in 2025.
