Temperatures are surging in the UK because of blistering heat in Europe being pulled towards parts of this country. Britons are set to sizzle on what could be the hottest day of the year so far, with temperatures predicted to possibly hit 33C today.
The Met Office has said the mercury in central, southern and eastern England will soar on Monday afternoon amid a heatwave blasting the nation. Parts of the country will be hotter than some of the world’s top beach destinations, including areas in Jamaica, the Maldives and the Bahamas, with the hot weather set to last until the weekend.
The UK’s record high for 2022 currently stands at 32.7C, recorded at Heathrow on June 17. A heat-health alert has been issued for some parts of the UK this week, with those in affected areas advised to shade or cover windows and check on the vulnerable and the elderly.
