It might seem like it was just yesterday that the heatwave sent the UK into meltdown, but forecasters are already predicting the return of soaring temperatures as the country heats up again in August. The mercury is set to jump back up to the mid-30s next month - although the North East will miss the worst of the heat.
While 40C highs are unlikely so soon after last week's record-breaking temperatures, it will still feel very hot for many in the second week of August. According to the latest forecast from weather data platform WXCharts, the South East of England will hit 32C around August 9, with the following day expected to be equally warm.
However, by Thursday, August 11, those in Surrey and Berkshire will once again be baking in 35C heat. Wiltshire and Somerset are also set to melt in highs of 34C, as people living across Devon, Cornwall and the Midlands will benefit from it being few degrees cooler, at 31C.
