Another UK Heatwave on the Way

The UK is bracing for yet another intense heatwave this week, with meteorological data showing that temperatures above thirty‑five degrees Celsius occur more than twice as often now compared to the late twentieth century.

The Met Office states that such extreme heat events are thirty times more likely than before the Industrial Revolution, and forecasts suggest they may soon occur biennially, underscoring a significant shift in the pattern of British summers.
