France has recorded its hottest day since records began in 1947, breaking a record set a day earlier, as an early summer heatwave grips western Europe. France’s national temperature indicator - an average of day and night temperatures across dozens of locations - hit 30C, up from 29.8C a day earlier.

In the UK a red heat alert is in place for large areas of England, with a temperature of 36.1C recorded in Hampshire, the highest ever recorded in June. Forecasters predict temperatures could soon hit 38C.

The heatwave has caused deaths and serious disruption, particularly in France, Spain and Italy and is spreading to other parts of western Europe, with a new orange alert for dangerous weather in place for parts of the Netherlands.

Temperatures are expected to peak in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany in the next few days, with the heatwave also forecast to affect eastern Europe, where severe heat warnings have been issued in Poland, Croatia and Hungary.

Climate change is driving up temperatures around the world - but particularly in Europe - which some experts believe is heating up twice as fast as the global average.

Today is now officially the hottest ever June day, breaking the 1976 record.

A temperature of 35.7C has been recorded in Charlwood, Surrey, according to the Met Office.

This year marks half a century since the 1976 heatwave: a summer when people put foil over windows to keep out the sun and were forced to use standpipes in the street as water supplies ran short.

The UK's all-time high is 40.3C, recorded in July 2022.

The UK terrorism threat level has been raised to "severe", meaning an attack is "highly likely" in the next six months.

Two Jewish men - Shloime Rand, 34, and Moshe Shine, 76 - were stabbed in Golders Green, north London, on Wednesday, in an attack police have declared as a terrorist incident.

The Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre said the increase follows yesterday's stabbings, but "is not solely a result of that attack".

Chancellor Rachel Reeves said in an exclusive interview with the BBC that any Labour leadership contest would "plunge the country into chaos".

It comes as Angela Rayner, seen as a potential challenger to PM Keir Starmer, was cleared by HMRC of wrongdoing over her tax affairs after settling £40,000 in unpaid stamp duty, saying she had been "exonerated" of the accusation she had "deliberately sought to avoid tax".
