The Met Office’s morning forecast today suggested Brits could face heatwave conditions for six straight days.
Temperatures rose above 28C yesterday. The Met Office now says highs of 31C are on the cards in southern areas today, with 32C coming tomorrow, 33C on Monday, 32C on Tuesday, and 28C on Wednesday.
This means we could see heatwave conditions for six consecutive days.
A heatwave is declared when temperatures rise above the heatwave threshold for three days. The threshold varies from 28C to 25C across different UK counties.
