Heatwave UK: The vegetable to 'never' eat during hot weather - other foods to avoid

Britain is braced for another heatwave that will last longer than July's record-breaking hot spell. And while temperatures won't reach last month's scorching 43C, Greater Manchester will still be hotter than the Algarve.

Scotland could cross the heatwave threshold next week as temperatures are forecasted to soar to 26C.

The July heatwave wasn’t a one-off, freak weather event - there is another heatwave coming as Brits around the country brace themselves for soaring temperatures in excess of 40C.The second heatwave that will see mercury topping 30C in swathes of the UK, will be a super-heatwave, hot on the heels of July’s scorching temperatures which caused havoc in the UK and in some cases, even tragically proved fatal. According to the New Scientist, approximately 1,000 people may have perished in England and Wales in the previous heatwave, while the double-digit weather also saw roads melting in some areas, causing the country to grind to a standstill. Weather models from July's heatwave where temperatures reached a sweltering high of 40.3 in Lincolnshire, are similar to models predicting August's temperature, forecasting another heatwave is on its way.

As the UK recovers from the hottest day on record, the temperature is set to again reach a scorching 29C on Sunday. It comes after the UK's blistering hot weather which exceeded 40C and led to health warnings.

The UK looks set to once again blister under scorching temperatures as forecasters predict the return of a second heatwave just weeks after the country recorded its hottest ever day with a high of 40.3°C last Tuesday 19 July. The latest predictions, which come from forecasters at the US National Centres for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), suggest that August will once again see the return of skyrocketing temperatures, with highs of upwards of 40°C expected for a second time.

Oxfordshire farm known as "big pig" suffered in the heat. With temperatures soaring above 40C in parts of the South East, pig owners were urged to cover their bacon in sun cream and keep the animals cool to protect them from the sun's powerful rays. Unfortunately Clarkson's pig didn't last through the scorching weather and the animal's death was announced on Twitter by the ex-Top Gear host on Wednesday, July 20.

A British news anchor’s dismissive response to the brutal heatwave currently blasting Europe has spawned comparisons on social media to the Netflix climate change allegory “Don’t Look Up”.

There’s no denying that temperatures across the UK are extremely high – and they’re set to get higher if experts’ predictions are correct. Forecasters have warned “substantial” changes will be required for working practices and daily routines to keep people safe in the extreme conditions.

The UK is expected to bake under unprecedented high temperatures this week, as the Met Office issues its first ever red weather warning for ‘extreme heat’. In Greater Manchester, the mercury is expected to reach 37C on Monday and Tuesday.
