UK Weather: Warmest start to May on record amid wildfires and water warnings

The UK has seen the warmest start to May on record as temperatures continue to soar, with firefighters battling wildfires and warnings over the “hidden dangers” of open water swimming.

Kew Gardens, in south-west London, registered 29.3C on Thursday afternoon, the Met Office said, taking it past the previous May 1 record high temperature of 27.4C at Lossiemouth in Moray in 1990.

Thursday was also the warmest day of the year so far beating the previous high of 26.7C reached in Wisley, Surrey, on Wednesday, the agency said.
