Two-Week Heatwave To Hit UK Weather As Temperatures ‘Set To Increase To 40C’

Sizzling temperatures are forecast to take a step up in July, with a heatwave predicted to last 14 days.

The Weather Company has predicted that more scorching heat is expected in early and late July. They say it could beat last year’s record-breaking 40.3C temperature.

The extreme temperatures come as hot continental air makes its way to the UK.

Sunday became the hottest day of the year so far, reaching 32.2C at Coningsby in Lincolnshire.

The Met Office said a continuation of these hot weather trends was not ‘out of the question’.

Met Office meteorologist Jonathan Vautrey said northern areas would be likely to see the drier weather while the south sees greater risk of showers and thunderstorms.
