"As soon as I put my dress on, my makeup was just falling off my face." Aimie Seale is one of hundreds of brides whose weddings landed in the middle of a heatwave this summer. She had chosen a July weekend in the hope of avoiding any wet weather. Instead, she faced 30C heat with her ceremony in a sweltering West Yorkshire church, predominantly made of glass. Half of the years between 2015 and 2024 saw temperatures above 35C - up from one in ten - as climate change increases the risk of heatwaves.
