Summary
About 1,017 forest fires were recorded in England and Wales this year, according to data from the National Fire Chiefs Council, the same record number as last year. The UK has the hottest day of the year with Europe suffering from heat. Still, the temperature was below the British record of August, 38.5°C, recorded in 2003.
Furthermore, Environment Secretary Angela Eagle will decide on the ban, which would be the first of its kind since May 2006. The United Kingdom also matched the 2022 indices, with two days reaching 38°C. At least two new pasture fires began in different areas of the West Midlands in central England, authorities said. With the latest heat wave, 2026 already accumulates four days with temperatures of 36°C (96.8°F) or more.
In addition, The Met Office (United Kingdom Weather Service) reported that the temperature of 38.1°C in western London was a tenth degree higher than the previous record set on June 28. In northern Greece, more than 300 tourists and residents were removed by sea today, after a forest fire devastated a pine forest and threatened houses by the sea, according to the Greek authorities.
