UK weather: Scotland records its hottest ever temperature
Last month saw the hottest temperature ever recorded in Scotland and was the driest June on record in parts of England.
Some areas received only 6% of expected rainfall, with Middlesex getting just 0.7mm, Essex 1.7mm and Dorset 2mm.
A temperature of 33.2C was recorded in Motherwell, Scotland, on June 28 - comfortably breaking the 32.9C set in August 2003 at Greycook on the borders.
In the North West of England the unusual conditions have led "rapidly developing, aggressive" wildfires, as two blazes on neighbouring moors met, filling the sky with thick smoke and leaving a trail of blackened land.
Representatives of Manchester fire services said high temperatures were the toughest part of combating the fire, explaining it would "take many more days of intense sweat and effort" for "tired but optimistic" firefighters to extinguish it.
Photographs showed firefighters beating down hot spots on Winter Hill near Bolton at dawn this morning as services appealed for sun cream, insect repellent and hats as they battled the "unprecedented" blaze.
The Irish Farmers Association have warned "once in a generation" drought conditions could threaten farmers' livelihoods, depleting grass growth and causing problems with crops like barley, lettuce, broccoli and cauliflower.
Ireland has experienced very low rainfall since February - on a par with that of the country's last drought in 1976 - and no rain is forecast for the next week.
The weather has broken records across the country, with the Met Office putting forward its first ever thunderstorm alert across parts of the country, with the threat of disrupted travel and power cuts.
Over the weekend the weather mostly remained clear, and many people around Britain headed to beaches and parks to enjoy the heat.
