The UK's summers are getting hotter - but how prepared are we?

"We expect increasing temperatures and the breaking of temperature records due to climate change."

— Lizzie Kendon , Academic

"Climate change [is] loading the atmosphere with extra heat and making extreme temperatures far more intense than they would have been in the past."

— Akshay Deoras , Academic

"When temperatures rise this sharply, and for this long, the effects ripple across everything we have built - our homes, our offices, our railways, our roads, the very ground beneath them."

— Xueyu Geng , Academic
