Heatwave sweeps across Europe, Spain and England record hottest June ever

Spain and England have recorded their hottest June on record, as scorching temperatures continue to sweep across Europe.

Spain's meteorological service, Aemet, said the "exceptionally hot" June - with an average temperature of 23.6C (74.5F) - "has broken records", exceeding the normal average for July and August.

In England, the Met Office said June's average temperature of 16.9C set a new record for that month, while the UK as a whole saw its second warmest June since records began in 1884, writes the BBC . 

Mainland Portugal experienced a record daily temperature for June of 46.6C. Monthly average data has not yet been published.

Wildfires in Turkey forced the evacuation of tens of thousands of people, while two people died in Italy in suspected heat-related deaths.

Overnight, on the first day of July, Aemet said that some places across the Iberian peninsula had reached 43C, but added that a drop in temperatures would come from Thursday.

Nighttime temperatures recorded overnight through Tuesday reached 28C in Seville and 27C in Barcelona.

Later on Tuesday, the UK recorded 34.7C at St James's Park in London, making it the hottest day of the year so far.

On Monday, the highest daily temperature in the UK was recorded at London's Heathrow Airport at 33.1C. Meanwhile, Wimbledon recorded a temperature of 32.9C, the hottest opening day of the tennis tournament ever recorded.
