YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTemperatures in the UK rose above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) for the first time as a potentially deadly heat wave nears a peak on Tuesday.
The temperature at London’s Heathrow Airport hit 40.2°C at about 12:50 p.m., according to a provisional recording published by the UK’s Met Office. Temperatures across England are breaking the previous record of 38.7°C set at the Cambridge Botanic Garden in 2019.
The searing heat in the UK is disrupting train travel as the country’s normally temperate climate isn’t prepared to deal with extreme weather. As the use of fossil fuels continues to warm the planet, such heat will only get more common.
