UK set for third heatwave of the year with temperatures soaring to 30C over August bank holiday weekend

Parts of the UK are in for hot temperatures once again as another heatwave is set to arrive in time for the August bank holiday weekend. Temperatures are predicted to reach highs of 30C degrees in what would be the third heatwave the UK has had this year.

The Met Office says that it is likely to be the final warm weather of the summer where we've seen record-breaking temperatures as global warming fears have grown. Drought conditions and hosepipe bans have been announced for many parts of the country after wildfires and a number of deaths from people drowning in open waters, says Wales Online.

The forecasted hot weather is due to arrive after the UK saw a record high of 40.3C in July in Coningsby, Lincolnshire, the hottest ever temperature recorded in the country, the Mirror reports.
