What to expect after UK-wide heatwave - with heavy rain and cooler temperatures forecast for many
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 13 – The heatwave triggered hosepipe bans and wildfire warnings, with Wales reaching 33.1°C and Scotland hitting 32.2°C, marking record highs for 2025, officials said.
- The UK is experiencing the third heatwave of summer 2025, peaking around July 13-14 with temperatures above 30C in several regions including Scotland, Wales, and England.
- This heatwave follows an unusually warm spring and two prior heatwaves, but low pressure moving in from the Atlantic is expected to break it down starting July 14-15 with rain and cooler temperatures.
- Multiple regions across England were under heightened heat warnings until 9am Monday, signaling health risks particularly for people over 65 or those with medical conditions, while hosepipe restrictions were enforced in Yorkshire, Kent, and Sussex.
- Forecasts predict temperatures will fall to about 23-26C with heavy showers and thundery downpours from Monday, July 14, while warnings urged public caution on wildfire risks and water safety amid rising heat-related incidents.
- The heatwave's end brings relief with cooler, wetter weather expected across much of the UK, easing health pressures and limiting further heat records, although some areas like southeast England may remain warmer longer.
