The people of the UK have been experiencing an unprecedented and prolonged heatwave in September. According to the UK's Meteorological Office, September 9th marked the sixth consecutive day that the country witnessed temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius, significantly higher than the average for the same period in previous years. The previous record was a three-day streak of such temperatures, recorded four times, with the most recent occurrence in 2016.

The UK has issued an amber weather warning across various regions of England until the evening of September 10th, expressing particular concern about the risks that high temperatures can pose to vulnerable individuals. The Meteorological Office emphasizes that "as our climate changes due to human influence, such heatwaves are becoming more frequent and severe."

Last week, the UK Met Office stated that the UK had experienced its eighth hottest summer since 1884, with June being the hottest month on record.

In July of the previous year, the UK witnessed a record-breaking hot day, with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius for the first time.
