I live just down the road from this weather station, and can confirm from my own scientific observations that it was at least a gazillion degrees.
And to be more sombre about this: any politics that doesn't start from the existential nature of the climate crisis is just not a serious contribution.

Oxford, the longest running continuous weather station in UK history, with temperature observations stretching back to 1815, has preliminarily broken its maximum temperature record for May yesterday by OVER 3ºC with a temperature of 33.7ºC. Unprecedented in its 211-year history.
