In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM — Record-breaking temperatures exceeding 34°C (93°F) blasted London on Monday, marking the hottest May day in the UK capital's recorded history. With the city's historic infrastructure fundamentally unprepared to cope with the sudden, extreme heat, thousands of desperate residents and shocked US tourists sought makeshift relief in public fountains, riversides, and shaded areas like Leicester Square. The Met Office has warned that these unseasonably scorching, dry conditions are expected to persist across southeastern England throughout the week, raising mounting concerns over long-term climate adaptation, urban heat vulnerabilities, and the safety of outdoor pets in historic British cities. #londonheatwave, #ukweather, #londonnews, #extremeheat, #recordtemperatures, #climatechange, #london, #globalwarming, #heatwave2026, #metoffice, #breakingnews, #londonlife, #weatheralert, #leicestersquare, #u
