Uk Temperatures Predicted To Increase Reaching Potential Heatwave Conditions Next Week

UK to sizzle in week-long heatwave with temperatures higher than Barcelona

When will the heatwave hit the UK?

A heatwave is expected to grip parts of the UK next week with temperatures topping 30C. The mercury is expected to rise from Sunday and peak on Tuesday, with the hot weather potentially lasting for a week.

What parts of the UK will be affected by the heatwave?

The heatwave is expected to affect most of England and Wales, with the south and east of England likely to see the highest temperatures. The Midlands and Yorkshire are also expected to see temperatures in the high 20s, while Scotland and Northern Ireland are likely to see more moderate temperatures.

What is causing the heatwave?

The heatwave is being caused by a combination of factors, including a high-pressure system over the UK and hot air from the continent. The high pressure is preventing clouds and rain from forming, allowing the sun to heat the ground and air. The hot air from the continent is then being drawn into the UK by the high pressure.
