7:58Now PlayingToday is now officially the hottest ever June day, breaking the 1976 record.
A temperature of 35.7C has been recorded in Charlwood, Surrey, according to the Met Office.
This year marks half a century since the 1976 heatwave: a summer when people put foil over windows to keep out the sun and were forced to use standpipes in the street as water supplies ran short.
The UK's all-time high is 40.3C, recorded in July 2022.
