A whistleblower claimed that when temperatures on a ward reached 30.8 degrees Celsius on Sunday, May 24, hospital managers supposedly took away the thermometers. The heatwave swept across the region, pushing temperatures in parts of Somerset as high as 32 degrees Celsius. Nationally, May recorded record-breaking highs, with London exceeding 34 degrees on both Tuesday, May 26 and Wednesday, May 27.
