London could be in for an official heatwave as the city is set to bask in temperatures as high as 29C in coming days as the school summer holidays get underway.
The Met Office defines a heatwave as an extended period of hot weather relative to the expected conditions of the area at that time of year, which may be accompanied by high humidity.
In the UK, 2023 was the second warmest year on record and brought storms, flooding, intense heatwaves and rising sea levels - with only 2022 warmer.
