UK heatwave set to return as forecasters warn temperatures could hit 35C again

Britain could be bracing for another spell of scorching weather, with forecasters predicting temperatures may climb back to 35C in parts of the country next week.

After a brief period of cooler and fresher conditions, weather experts say high pressure is expected to build once again across southern parts of the UK, bringing a return to hot and sunny weather.

Temperatures are forecast to rise steadily towards the weekend, with some areas in southern England expected to see highs approaching 30C by Saturday and Sunday. Forecast models suggest the heat could intensify further early next week, with some projections indicating temperatures could once again reach 35C or higher.

Meteorologists say the hottest conditions are likely to affect southern and south-eastern regions of England, where heatwave criteria could once again be met if temperatures remain high for several consecutive days.

Despite the potential return of extreme heat, forecasters say the upcoming spell is expected to be more manageable than the recent heatwave, although humidity levels are also expected to increase, making conditions feel warmer.

The recent heatwave saw record-breaking June temperatures across parts of the UK, with some areas exceeding 37C and prompting health alerts, travel disruption and concerns over wildfires.

Weather experts are advising people to stay updated with the latest forecasts as conditions may change over the coming days. Further forecast updates are expected throughout the week.
