Temperatures to hit 34C as heat alerts issued for fourth summer heatwave ...Middle East

Temperatures could reach 34°C in parts on the UK by Tuesday, as the fourth heatwave of the summer hits the country.

Yellow heat health alerts are in place across most of England from Monday to Wednesday, meaning medical services could be significantly impacted.

Temperatures are expected to peak of 34°C on Tuesday in the south Midlands.

Central, southern and eastern parts of the UK could experience similar temperatures, according to the Met Office, though conditions are expected to remain cooler in the north east and north west.

Tom Morgan, meteorologist at the Met Office, said: “There is definitely a north-south split in the weather on Monday.

“Quite cloudy across Scotland, Northern Ireland and parts of northern England, the rain tending to come and go, but most persistent in western Scotland.

“Otherwise, England and Wales seeing mostly sunny skies, although there will be more in the way of high level cloud out there compared to on Sunday, so the sunshine [will be] hazy at times.”

The UK Health Security Agency heat health alerts are in place from 12pm on Monday until 6pm on Wednesday, covering London, Yorkshire and the Humber, the East Midlands, east of England, the South East and South West.

There could be a significant impact across health and social care services, including the potential for a rise in deaths, particularly among those aged 65 and over or with health conditions, UKHSA said.

Most areas of the country will have temperatures in the mid to high-20s on Monday, while some spots around London and the South East could have highs of 31°C.

There will be lots of blue sky and sunshine for “the vast majority” of the UK on Sunday, with temperatures feeling noticeably warmer nationwide but particularly across northern areas thanks to a lighter breeze, Mr Morgan said.

What is a heatwave?

A heatwave is an extended period of hot weather relative to the expected conditions of an area at that time of year, according to the Met Office.

In the UK, a heatwave is declared when an area records a period of at least three consecutive days with daily maximum temperatures meeting or exceeding a certain level.

This threshold varies by UK county, depending on average temperatures.

In London, temperatures must reach or exceed 28°C for three days in a row for there to be a heatwave, while in Yorkshire temperatures need to hit 25°C.

Highs of 28°C are possible in London while temperatures will be comfortably into the mid-20s elsewhere.

The heatwave threshold is met when a location records at least three consecutive days with maximum temperatures exceeding a designated value, according to the Met Office.

This is 25°C for most of the UK, but rises to 28°C in London and its surrounding area, where temperatures are typically higher.
