The heatwave might have come to an end, but if you spent any time outside in recent days you may still be nursing a nasty sunburn. The North East recorded highs of 36.8C yesterday (July 19) as temperatures across the UK soared.
While the rest of this week is set to be cooler, the Met Office has already predicted that the coming weeks will see above-average temperatures. Its long-range forecast confirmed that more "very warm" weather is on the way at the beginning of August.
Of course, this doesn't bode well for Brits who aren't used to facing such extreme heat and sunshine. Even a short time under the sun's glare can lead to sunburn, which in turn increases you risk of developing skin cancer, reports EdinburghLive.
