UK Braced for Fourth Heatwave of Summer with Temperatures Set to Hit 35C Next Week The UK is preparing for its fourth heatwave of the summer, with temperatures expected to soar as high as 35C next week.
This latest spell of hot weather comes on the heels of three previous heatwaves in June, which saw records broken when temperatures reached a sweltering 37. 7C in Lingwood, Strumpshaw Hill.
A heatwave is defined as a prolonged period of hot weather that exceeds thresholds for an area over at least three consecutive days.
