Forecasters warn that England could experience extremely hot weather that may break the highest temperature ever recorded for the month of May. Several areas are expected to reach around 35°C (95°F), which would set a new May record if confirmed by official measurements. The warning follows very warm conditions already observed this week. BBC reports that the UK recorded its hottest May day on record, including a temperature of 34.8°C in London on Monday. The New York Times similarly notes the possibility of temperatures rising to the highest level ever recorded in May, with some areas of England potentially reaching 35°C. Together, the reports indicate that the current heatwave is pushing temperatures near or beyond historical May benchmarks in parts of England, and meteorological forecasts are focusing on whether the threshold for a new record will be reached in the coming period. Temperatures could vary by location, but both outlets point to 35°C as the key figure to watch.
