The Met Office has given its verdict on whether the UK could see a summer heatwave amid what has so far been a wet and drizzly July.
The chances of another heatwave this year already appear to be over, the Met Office believe, despite parts of southern Europe sweltering in almost 50C heat.
But Meteorologists say there is no sign of the Cerberus heatwave arriving here in the UK, with the rest of July predicted to be unsettled with frequent showers, reports the Mirror.

August looks like starting in the same vein with extended periods of showery weather or more prolonged rain as low-pressure systems continue to move near the UK.
It comes just a day after the Met Office issued thunderstorm weather warnings for parts of the north west, with scattered showers expected in Manchester into the next week.
High pressure is likely to build at times next month, but not enough for a heatwave to be declared, forecasters say. Temperatures will heat up slightly but still could be lower than the average expected at that time of the year.
Met Office spokesman Grahame Madge said: "There is no forecast signal for temperatures to reach last year’s threshold this year. The chance of reaching 40C is around one per cent, so it is unlikely in any given year, but of course, it remains feasible.
"The fact that the UK’s atmosphere is capable of producing 40C is now locked in so it is likely that in years to come we will see a repeat, especially as the background climate continues to warm."
However sizzling temperatures are set to hit as high as 49C in the coming days as Europe continues to battle against the devastating heatwave.
