Description
The UK’s hottest June day on record has been broken again during this week's heatwave, with a provisional temperature of 36.4C recorded in Yeovilton, Somerset.
This surpasses the high of 36.1C set on Wednesday in Gosport, Hampshire, the Met Office said.
It comes after the Met Office extended its red warning for extreme heat into Friday as the peak of a heatwave affecting most of England and Wales are set to shift eastwards.
From midnight tonight until 9pm on Friday, the red warning will be in place across large parts of the South East and the East of England, the forecaster said.
In the East of England, the warning applies to Central Bedfordshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Luton and Thurrock.
Meanwhile in the capital and the South East, Bracknell Forest, Brighton and Hove, Buckinghamshire, East Sussex, Greater London, Hampshire, Kent, Medway, Milton Keynes, Oxfordshire, Reading, Slough, Surrey, West Berkshire, West Sussex, Windsor and Maidenhead, and Wokingham are affected.
But how long will this heat continue for - and when will the thunderstorms arrive?
