Rumours have been circling based on various weather forecasts and charts over whether the UK will have another 40C heatwave this summer. However, The Met Office has had it's say on the matter and stated that it's not yet possible to accurately predict the highest temperature that far in advance.
In a post on Twitter, the national weather agency said: "There are a few misleading headlines around about heatwaves at the moment. Here's our #FactCheck on the current forecast, and a reminder that it's not possible to forecast the highest temperature this summer at this range."
Within the tweet was an image of a headline stating: "Britain bracing for tropical blast with record temperatures of 40C." It was unclear if the headline was referring to the summer of weather in the coming days, but the Met Office referred to it as the summer reports the Daily Mirror.
