UK Faces Fourth Heatwave with 35C Temperatures

The UK is experiencing its fourth heatwave of the year, with temperatures expected to reach up to 35C in parts of England.

The UK Health Security Agency has issued amber heat health alerts for eastern England, warning of increased health risks, especially for vulnerable groups.

Yellow alerts have also been issued for other regions.

The hot weather is expected to affect central, southern, and eastern England, while Scotland, Northern Ireland, and northern England will remain cooler.

The mean temperature for July 2026 is currently the second hottest on record, with very little rainfall, leading to drought conditions in parts of Wales and hosepipe bans for millions of households.
