The UK is set to experience a slight reprieve from a severe heatwave that has led to record-breaking temperatures and six tragic fatalities linked to water incidents. The Met Office reported that Tuesday marked the hottest May day on record, with Kew Gardens hitting 35.1C and Cardiff Bute Park reaching 32.9C. A cooling trend is anticipated due to cloud cover and an easterly wind, although parts of south-west England may still see temperatures around 32C-33C. Tragically, the heat has resulted in multiple drownings across regions, including a 15-year-old boy in Lincoln and a teenage girl in Warwickshire. The RNLI has issued warnings about the risks of swimming in cold waters, as water temperatures remain low despite the high air temperatures. The UK Health Security Agency has placed amber heat-health alerts in several areas, with a study indicating that the likelihood of exceeding May's previous temperature record has increased significantly due to climate change. This extraordinary weather pattern raises concerns about public safety and the impacts of climate change on future weather events.
