Following the hottest night ever recorded in the UK- things are feeling extremely warm in Wiltshire today (19/07).

Some parts of the county are already experiencing temperatures as high as 35°C.

Here are the towns really feeling the heat this morning, according to the Met Office:

  • Malmesbury: 35°C
  • Marlborough: 35°C
  • Chippenham: 35°C
  • Swindon: 35°C

Things are a tiny bit cooler in other areas, but the county is still set to get hotter throughout the day.

This is how hot other towns are in Wiltshire right now:

  • Trowbridge: 34°C
  • Devizes: 34°C
  • Salisbury: 33°C
  • Calne: 33°C
  • Warminster: 33°C
  • Westbury: 33°C

The exceptional heat is expected to impact England throughout the day, says the Met Office- with temperatures potentially exceeding 40°C.  

Met Office Chief Meteorologist Neil Armstrong said: “Even higher maximum temperatures will develop today with a 70% chance of somewhere in England exceeding 40°C.

"A value of this level would exceed the current UK record by 1.3°C or more. This is akin to a marathon runner shaving 20 minutes off of the current record."
