UK and Switzerland record hottest June days ever as Europe heatwave linked to child deaths and health emergencies

Summary

The UK and Switzerland both recorded their hottest-ever June temperatures, with the UK reaching 36.4°C in Yeovilton, Somerset, and Switzerland exceeding 37°C for the first time in June. The extreme heat, supercharged by the climate crisis, has been linked to the death of a third toddler in France and a surge in medical emergencies across Europe. Three-quarters of France is under extreme heat alert as the heatwave continues to impact the continent.
