1911 United Kingdom heatwave

The United Kingdom heatwave of 1911 was a particularly severe heatwave and associated drought. Records were set around the country for temperature in England, including the highest accepted temperature, at the time, of 36.7 °C (98.1 °F), only broken 79 years later in the 1990 heatwave, which reached 37.1 °C (98.8 °F). A temperature of 37.8 °C (100.0 °F) was recorded at Greenwich in a Glaisher stand and was regarded as the record, but further data from a Stevenson screen in the same location showed the temperature to be 35.9 °C (96.6 °F).
