A new record temperature for July has been set after the mercury reached 37.7C at Kew Gardens the Met Office said. The mercury could soar to 39C (102.2F) in some spots on Thursday, driven by hot air funnelled from the south as western Europe is gripped by an extreme heatwave. As temperatures soar people are being urged to take precautions.
Sweltering temperatures could spark thundery downpours, with a yellow warning for thunderstorms issued for most of England except the South West, and parts of Scotland from 3pm on Thursday until 4am on Friday.
Get your brollies - might become a very wet Saturday!
