 Scorcher The past few years, the heat has definitely started to be more widespread having previously been more focused towards the south and east. Hence Northern Ireland broke it's temperature record in 2021 when the rest of the UK didn't see their records broken.

there was a historic hailstorm in SW England that did huge damage. 

Although less to do with the heat during that month, the eyewitness accounts of the large hail are quite interesting to read through in this short paper:

 Metwatch Yes I do find it interesting that papers which have looked back on the UK climate on longer timescales have mentioned previous centuries had more frequent and more damaging hailstorms.
