Headline: UNCAPTIONED: England Braces For Temperatures Of Up To 35C
Caption: England Braces For Temperatures Of Up To 35C. Forecasters say temperatures could climb to 35 degrees in parts of England as the UK’s record-breaking heatwave continues. On Monday, the country recorded its hottest May temperature ever after thermometers reached 34.8 degrees at Kew Gardens in London. The figure also broke the previous record for the hottest bank holiday Monday in the UK. The Met Office described the conditions as exceptional, saying this level of heat would be unusual even during the height of summer. Tuesday is expected to bring even warmer conditions across south-east England while many areas in England and Wales could see temperatures in the high twenties. There is also a risk of thunderstorms developing in parts of southern and eastern England. Meanwhile, Wales recorded its hottest May day on Monday, with temperatures reaching 32.2 degrees in Flintshire. The Met Office says the heat is being driven by a large area of high pressure building over the UK. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
