More than 600 schools across the United Kingdom have announced closures for Friday as the Met Office extends a heatwave alert, with temperatures expected to soar to 38°C in some areas. The extreme weather has prompted widespread disruption to education, with many schools opting to close entirely or finish early to protect pupils and staff from the heat.
Record-Breaking Heat and Wildfire
The closures come after a day of record-breaking temperatures on Thursday, when the mercury hit 36.7°C in parts of England. Wales recorded its hottest-ever June temperature at 35.6°C in Cardiff's Bute Park, while Scotland reached 31.2°C in Threave. The heat also fueled a massive wildfire in the Peak District, which broke out on Thursday afternoon and required multiple fire crews to bring under control.
Professor Stephen Belcher CBE, the Met Office chief scientist, said: "The heatwave this week is a significant weather event, with a Red Extreme Heat warning issued. Human-induced climate change has made events like this more likely and more intense. To see temperatures like this in the UK in June is sobering. Events like this bring home the implications of climate change, with very high temperatures and humidity bringing significant health implications from heat stress, as well as impacts to a range of sectors such as transport, energy and water supply."

Impact and Advice
The widespread school closures are expected to affect tens of thousands of students and their families. Many schools have advised parents to check their school's website or social media channels for the latest updates. The Met Office has urged people to stay hydrated, avoid the sun during peak hours, and check on vulnerable neighbors. The Red Extreme Heat warning remains in place for parts of England, with the public advised to take precautions against heat-related illnesses.
