UK temperatures forecast to exceed 30C as another heatwave imminent

Summary

Parts of the UK are expected to experience another heatwave this weekend, with temperatures possibly rising above 30°C, especially in southern and south-eastern England. This heatwave could last into mid-July and may be the third one of the year for some areas, though it is not expected to be as hot as the June heatwave.

Key Facts

  • Temperatures in southern and south-eastern England could reach up to 33°C.
  • Some northern areas like South Yorkshire might see temperatures around 30°C.
  • Western parts of the UK, including Lancashire and western Scotland, will be cooler due to an Atlantic breeze.
  • The heatwave could last several days, possibly until mid-July.
  • Yellow heat health alerts are issued for parts of England, warning vulnerable people about health risks.
  • A heatwave in the UK means three or more days in a row with temperatures above certain regional limits (usually 25°C or higher).
  • The hot weather is caused by a high pressure system from the Azores stretching over the UK, blocking cooler Atlantic weather.
  • The jet stream, a fast-moving air current in the atmosphere, has shifted north, allowing the high pressure to dominate.
