The hottest recorded July day has emerged to have been in Wisley, Surrey, where temperatures hit 36.5C (97.7F).

Earlier in the day, 36.3C (97.3F) near Gatwick Airport was thought to have been the high.

As the sun blazed across the country schools closed and workers dressed down while the elderly and young children were urged to drink plenty of water.

Peaks were 29.7C in St Angelo, Northern Ireland, 31.3C in Prestwick, Scotland, and 34.2C in Penhow, south Wales.

The previous hottest July day was in 1911, when Epsom, Surrey, reached 36C. The highest UK temperature recorded was 38.5C (101.3F) in Faversham, Kent, on August 10, 2003.

British temperatures this week have exceeded such holiday destinations as Malta, Athens, Bermuda and Rome.
