The UK is hot, hot, hot this weekend in a resurgence of the heatwave that caused record highs in mid July. Parts of the country could see temperatures as high as 35C this weekend and with that experts have warned of wildfires, drought, and thunderstorms. It comes as the southern half of the UK has been hit by drought conditions this weekend, while the northern half braces for thunderstorms on Sunday and an amber heat warning has been issued by the Met Office.This means heat-related illnesses including sunburn and heat exhaustion are “likely” among the general population, and delays to public transport are “possible”.
Meanwhile, yellow thunderstorm warnings are in place from noon on Sunday until 6am on Monday for most of Scotland and Northern Ireland, and from 10am until midnight for Wales and England. Met Office meteorologist Dan Stroud said that the weather will continue to be dry across the south. “For the rest of the weekend, across the south, there will be a continuation of the very dry and hot conditions,” he said.
“We’re looking at temperatures, for the remainder of Saturday, of up to 34C or 35C across the south, feeling a little bit fresher across the north, but temperatures up there still well above where they should be for the time of year. “As we move into, into Sunday, a slight change with low pressure starting to arrive from the south. “There is an increasing risk of some isolated showers across Devon and Cornwall, very early on Sunday.
