Britain could face further periods of extreme heat this summer, with forecasters warning that recent heatwaves may be only the beginning of a season increasingly defined by prolonged hot weather and rising climate-related risks.
After experiencing multiple heatwaves since May, meteorologists say conditions remain favourable for additional hot spells later in July and August. The Met Office has indicated that above-average temperatures remain more likely than normal throughout the summer, increasing the chances of further heatwave conditions across parts of the United Kingdom.
