Liverpool experienced its hottest day of the year so far on June 25, 2026, with temperatures climbing into the mid-30s Celsius. An amber weather warning remained in force across the North West, with forecasters warning of exceptional heat and possible record-breaking conditions.
How People Coped with the Heat
Across the city, residents and visitors found various ways to stay cool. At Wyld Sauna, people took the plunge into ice baths to escape the scorching temperatures. Outside Anfield Stadium, Foo Fighters fans queued to use free sun cream dispensers ahead of the band's eagerly anticipated concert. Beaches were packed with sunseekers, while beer gardens across Liverpool filled up with workers enjoying an after-work pint in the blazing sunshine.
Met Office Warning
The Met Office has urged people to take extra care during the heatwave, which follows record temperatures recorded elsewhere in the UK earlier in the week. A spokesperson said, "It is essential to stay hydrated, avoid direct sun during peak hours, and check on vulnerable individuals."
