The UK recorded its hottest ever day in May on Monday, with an all-time high of 34.8C recorded at London’s Kew Gardens.

Temperatures above 33C were recorded across the south-east of England, while Wales also provisionally broke its May temperature record. The heat is expected to persist through the week, with a 35C peak forecast on Tuesday.

We want to hear from you. How are you coping with the heat this summer at work and at home? What impact has hot weather had on you? Have you been forced to make lifestyle changes recently to cope with the temperatures?
