2017 United Kingdom heat wave The 2017 United Kingdom heat wave was an event that took place in the United Kingdom in June 2017. Temperatures at Heathrow Airport reached a decades-high of 34.5 °C (94.1 °F), the hottest June temperature since 1976, on 21 June.[2] This marked five consecutive days of temperatures above 30 °C (86 °F), making it an official heatwave, and the first June heatwave since 1995.[3]
Season During May, June, and July, the Northern Hemisphere is exposed to more direct sunlight because the hemisphere faces the Sun. The same is true of the Southern Hemisphere in November, December, and January. It is Earth's axial tilt that causes the Sun to be higher in the sky during the summer months, which increases the solar flux. However, due to seasonal lag, June, July, and August are the warmest months in the Northern Hemisphere while December, January, and February are the warmest months in the Southern Hemisphere.
