The UK is set to be hit by soaring temperatures, as a heatwave has been predicted for July.
Extreme heat, of up to 40C, is forecasted and the sweltering temperatures could last as long as two weeks. The Weather Company reports that the heatwave is expected in early and late July.
If forecasters are correct, this July and could beat last year’s record-breaking 40.3C experienced in Lincolnshire. This has been backed up by the Met Office, as it agreed extreme temperatures are ‘not out of the question’, with the mercury boosted by hot continental air.
