1808 United Kingdom heat wave
Areas
United Kingdom
Start date
July 1808
End date
July 1808
Peak temp.
38 °C (100 °F), recorded at London, England on 13 July 1808[1]
The 1808 United Kingdom heat wave was a period of exceptionally high temperatures during July 1808. In the Central England Temperature series, dating back to 1659, at the time it was the 2nd hottest July on record, the hottest since 1783. As of 2022, it is the 9th hottest July on record.[2] The month included some of the highest temperatures ever recorded in the UK. Temperature records from this time are likely dubious as the Stevenson screen was not introduced until the 1860s.[3]
