The closing common temperature determine for the month is on target to beat the earlier imply common report of 14.9C set in each 1940 and 1976.

Mike Kendon, a local weather data scientist with the Met Office mentioned the “persistent warmth for much of the month” has been “particularly unusual”.

He added: “Meteorologically, June began with excessive stress over the UK bringing typically settled and dry situations with loads of sunshine.

“Once that high pressure subsided, warm, humid air took charge over the UK, with 32.2C the highest temperature recorded so far this month and high temperatures for the vast majority of the UK.

“What has been particularly unusual is the persistent warmth for much of the month, with temperatures reaching 25C widely for at least a fortnight, and at times 28 to 30C – whereas we would more typically expect maximum temperatures in the high teens or low 20s at this time of year.”
