Britain's record temperatures could be smashed ☀️🥵
Britain's record temperatures could be smashed in the July heatwave with forecasters predicting temperatures could reach a scorching 43c.
The previous record for the UK was 38.7c recorded in July 2019. But forecasters have said there is an 'alarming prediction' that this heatwave could top 40c. "Nobody can recall 40C appearing in a major global forecast system for the UK," said Sky's weather forecaster Kirsty McCabe. "Especially when this forecast was also predicting temperatures over 39C over a huge area of southeast England."Given that the UK's previous hottest days have only seen a few places exceed 38C, this was unlike anything forecasters had ever seen before.
This year’s record high currently stands at 32.7C, recorded at Heathrow on June 17, the Met Office said. It comes after temperatures soared across the country on Friday, with the mercury hitting 28.5C in St James’s Park, London. A heat-health alert has been issued for some regions, with those in affected areas advised to shade or cover windows, check fridges are working properly, and that medicine is correctly stored. The UK Health Security Agency warning will be in force from Monday July 11 until Friday July 15, including regions in the south and east of the country.
