Britons, brace yourselves – a sweltering 30°C heatwave is on its way, and weather maps have pinpointed the exact date when temperatures will skyrocket.
According to the latest meteorological projections, the UK is set to experience a dramatic spike in heat, with some regions baking under intense sunshine. The sudden surge is expected to arrive in just days, marking the start of a prolonged warm spell.
When Will the Heatwave Hit?
Forecast models indicate that the mercury will climb sharply by mid-July, with peak temperatures reaching a scorching 30°C in parts of southern England. The heat is predicted to linger for several days, offering a taste of proper summer weather after a mixed start to the season.
Which Areas Will Be Hottest?
London and the Home Counties are likely to bear the brunt of the heat, with thermometers hitting the high 20s or even breaching 30°C. Meanwhile, northern regions and coastal areas may experience slightly milder conditions, though still well above average for this time of year.
How Long Will It Last?
The heatwave is expected to last at least five days, with minimal rainfall and clear skies dominating. However, experts warn that such intense heat could bring thunderstorms as the hot air clashes with cooler systems moving in from the Atlantic.
Health Warnings Issued
Authorities are urging the public to stay hydrated, avoid excessive sun exposure, and check on vulnerable neighbours. The Met Office may issue official heat-health alerts if the forecast holds.
Will this be the hottest week of the year so far? All signs point to yes – so dig out those sunhats and fans before the sizzling weather arrives!
