Today was officially crowned Britain's hottest ever June day after temperatures reached a blistering 35.8C.

The 50-year record was first broken this afternoon in Charlwood, Surrey, when the mercury reached 35.7C to surpass the 35.6C set in 1976, the Met Office said, when the country was in the midst of a ten-week heatwave.

But it edged narrowly higher just moments later when 35.8C was recorded in the West Sussex village of Wiggonholt.

Forecasters had predicted that the June record would be 'absolutely smashed' with Britain and Europe trapped in a 'heat dome'.

The highest maximum temperature ever officially recorded by a UK weather station was 40.3C on 19 July 2022, registered at the Coningsby weather station in Lincolnshire.

Not all of the 168 Met Office weather stations used in our tool have comparable data going back over a century, although they have all been in action since 1980.
