School closures live: Heatwave shuts 100s of UK schools amid travel chaos – list Met Office weather forecasters say temperatures could rise as high as 40C this week, with hundreds of schools across the UK deciding to close Hundreds of schools have closed as a red weather warning for extreme heat is due to come into force on Wednesday. Temperatures could rise to up to 40C this week, with many schools deciding to close. Other areas are covered by an amber warning for extreme heat, which is already in place. Multiple records could be broken over the next couple of days, including the highest temperature ever recorded in the UK - 40.3C in July 2022 at Coningsby in Lincolnshire. Some schools have moved teaching online, while others have chosen to run in the morning and finish by lunch time. Working parents are entitled to up to four weeks' unpaid parental leave every year, which could be used in the event of sudden school closures. Transport will also be severely disrupted on Wednesday and Thursday, as National Rail has advised people to "only travel is absolutely necessary" on these two days.
