More than 1,000 people cross the English Channel from France to the UK over a period of several days during hot weather, according to reports citing Home Office figures. The Independent says 1,128 people arrive in the UK after making the journey between Friday and Tuesday. The Evening Standard describes the crossings as taking place over six consecutive days since Friday and notes that the number of arrivals is above 1,100 during the heatwave conditions. Another Evening Standard report adds that small-boat crossings continue as sea conditions are described as calm. The Belfast Telegraph also reports that more than 1,000 migrants cross the Channel amid high temperatures. The Daily Mail similarly reports that nearly 1,000 migrants cross in multiple boats over the span of May 23 to May 29, and it highlights that 128 people arrive on Thursday alone. One Daily Mail report also states that charges are brought against people linked to small-boat crossings. Across the outlets, the common theme is sustained arrival numbers over consecutive days while weather conditions are favorable for crossings.
