UK Braces for 4 Days of 30C+ Heatwave
3 Aug
Summary
- Temperatures expected to exceed 30C for four consecutive days.
- Highs could reach up to 34C in several English counties.
- Risk of thundery interludes in southern UK areas.
Another heatwave is anticipated in the UK next week, as forecasting models indicate temperatures will consistently rise above 30C for four consecutive days. Highs could reach as much as 34C in certain parts of England.
Today, temperatures are expected to peak at 34C in London, with other regions like the Midlands reaching 32C. While Northern Ireland and Scotland will experience cooler temperatures, the forecast suggests a surge to over 30C from Wednesday next week, particularly in western England and Wales.
By Thursday and Friday next week, temperatures could widely reach 34C in eastern, central, and southern England. The Met Office notes that while temperatures will remain above average, "exceptional heat" is unlikely. There is also a noted risk of "thundery interludes" in southern areas, with variable rainfall amounts possible.
