UK set for highs of 34C this week as heatwave conditions may return

The Met Office said parts of the south east could top 30C again, with a third heatwave possible after two earlier hot spells.

  • The Met Office forecasts a third heatwave this week, with London temperatures expected to reach 34C by Thursday as parts of England's south east exceed 30C.
  • High pressure positioned further west is driving westerly winds that influence conditions, keeping humidity levels lower than extremes recorded in previous heat waves and preventing record-breaking temperatures.
  • In Liverpool, temperatures will climb from 25C on Wednesday to 29C by Friday; the Met Office warned of "an ongoing chance of thunderstorms moving in from France" despite the heat.
  • Northern and western regions may be "unsettled at first with heavy rain or thundery showers," the Met Office said, while daytime temperatures across England and Wales will be widely very warm.
  • The warm spell is temporary, with forecasts indicating a return to normal summer temperatures commencing Monday, July 13, signaling this week's heat will be brief.
