LONDON (Reuters) – Preliminary data from the British Meteorological Office revealed Friday that Britain's temperature would hit a record 38.7 degrees Celsius.
New temperatures reached new heights in Germany, France and the Netherlands on Thursday as Europe was hit by a heat wave for the second time in a month.
The office said Thursday that the second highest temperature ever recorded by Britain was in Cambridge, reaching 38.1 degrees Celsius.
But the office said Friday that temperatures had hit a new record of 38.7 degrees at the Cambridge University Botanical Garden.
The new record will beat the previous record of 38.5 degrees recorded in August 2003.
