LONDON, July 19 — Britain recorded its highest ever temperature of 40 degrees today as a heatwave gripping Europe intensified, forcing train tracks to buckle and fuelling a spate of fires across London.
"Research conducted here at the Met Office has demonstrated that it's virtually impossible for the UK to experience 40 degrees in an undisrupted climate but climate change driven by greenhouse gases has made these extreme temperatures possible," he said. 'Do not travel' Transport minister Grant Shapps said there had been a considerable amount of travel disruption.
Sony Kapoor, a climate and macro-economic professor at European University Institute, said he had long thought that people underestimated the physical impacts of climate change in contemporary times."But even I never thought we would see 40 degree Celsius in London in 2022," he said.
