On 13 September temperatures exceeded 30 °C across much of East Anglia and Kent, with 34.4 °C at Gravesend (Kent), 33.5 °C at Kew Gardens (Greater London) and 32 °C reached at Writtle (Essex), Bedford and Cambridge.

. The greatest warming compared to 1961-1990 has been across the east Midlands and East Anglia where average annual temperatures have increased by more than 1°C, with the least warming around western coastal fringes and parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland. As well as increased temperatures, the UK has
