Chief scientist says dangerous heatwaves, which are getting more likely, ‘bring home the implications of climate change’
The month of June was the warmest in England on record, driven by a searing heatwave in the final days of the month, which for the first time had red heat alerts for three days, according to Met Office data.
The Met Office said provisional statistics showed Wales and the UK as a whole had recorded their second-warmest June since 1884.
