This week, the UK will experience a significant rise in temperatures, forecasted to reach upwards of 30C due to a building area of high pressure. While some regions have already seen high temperatures this year, the continuity required to classify it as a heatwave has yet to occur until this week. The warm weather will initially affect the eastern and southeastern areas, with the potential to stretch across the Midlands and North by the weekend. Climate change is increasing the frequency of heatwaves, which pose risks to infrastructure and health.
As the UK braces for a sudden spike in temperatures, exceeding 30C, the possibility of officially declaring a heatwave seems imminent due to the prolonged heat.
This week's heat will particularly affect East Anglia and south-east England, with peak temperatures reaching between 30 and 33 degrees Celsius come the weekend.
