Warming across the country has, however, not been even with some regions experiencing more rapid change than others. Heatwave thresholds in 8 counties in a band from Surrey to east Yorkshire are now changing.   Dr Mark McCarthy is the head of the Met Office National Climate Information Centre

and was likely responsible for a rise in registered deaths in England and Wales during the week 1 . Many beaches became exceptionally busy – for example in Sussex and Dorset. Firefighters tackled a large heathland fire in Surrey. The hot weather also saw the development of some impactful thunderstorms
