London's Burning

On July 19, London hit temperatures of over 40C for the first time ever.
As a direct result, the London Fire Service experienced its busiest
day since WWII.

🌡️ In the UK this week, the Met Office issued a red extreme heat warning for the first time ever. An extreme warning which indicates threat to life.⁠ ⁠

🌡️ Last night was the warmest night ever recorded at an average of 25C across the country.⁠ ⁠

🌡️ Today, temperatures exceeded 40C for the first time ever in the UK.⁠ ⁠

🌡️ London hit a record-breaking 40.2C by lunchtime - making it the 5th hottest place in the world at the time, with temperatures still climbing.⁠ ⁠

🌡️ Temperatures expected to reach 42C during the afternoon in some areas. ⁠ ⁠

Heatwaves such as this are becoming more likely and more extreme because of human-induced climate change.⁠ ⁠The world has already warmed by about 1.1C since the industrial era began, and temperatures will keep rising unless governments around the world make steep cuts to emissions.⁠
