Although the heatwave which made the country swelter over the weekend has ended with slightly cooler conditions today, forecasters are warning that next month could see two weeks of 40C temperatures. The Mirror is reporting that the Weather company is saying that more could be on the way in July.
Now it looks like July could see similar with predictions there could be 14 days of melting heat. And the Met Office said that the underlying trends caused by global warming could mean new records being set this summer - beating the UK top temp of 40.3C experienced in Lincolnshire last year. “On balance northern areas are more likely to see drier conditions with southern areas seeing greater risk of showers and thunderstorms. We can say there is a greater than normal chance of heat waves for the whole period of the middle to the end of July.
