The third heatwave of the year has started across parts of the United Kingdom with temperatures expected to rise up to 34C for some by the middle of the week.<\/p>\n
This heatwave is not likely to be as extreme as the one in late-June where we saw the temperature peak at 37.7C, however, it is going to last longer.<\/p>\n
Yellow heat-health alerts from the UK’s Health Security Agency, have been issued across the Midlands and southern England until 20:00 GMT on 11 July. <\/p>\n
The UKHSA suggests minor impacts are expected across health and social care services with a greater risk to life for vulnerable people.<\/p>\n
Northern areas of the UK will turn warmer but cloud and rain is likely to continue, particularly in western Scotland.<\/p>\n
Temperatures across the Midlands, East Anglia and south-east England could rise to 31C on Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n
With temperatures above 28C expected, the official heatwave criteria will be met widely in these locations over the next few days.<\/p>\n
The heatwave will then intensify from mid-week with temperatures across England and east Wales getting into the high-20s and low-30s.<\/p>\n
But, it is in London and south-east England where the temperature may peak at around 34C on Wednesday and Thursday.<\/p>\n
Although it’s unlikely the temperature will reach the 37.7C recorded at the end of June, some weather forecasting models are suggesting there is a chance we could see temperatures in the mid to high-30s this week. <\/p>\n
The UK all-time temperature record of 40.3C was set in July 2022 at Coningsby, Lincolnshire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The third heatwave of the year has started across parts of the United Kingdom with temperatures expected to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":675918,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-676138","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/676138","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=676138"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/676138\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/675918"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=676138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=676138"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=676138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
