The UK is bracing for another significant heatwave in July, with temperatures projected to rise dramatically in the coming weeks. Meteorologists predict a major heatwave or heat dome scenario from July 10th to 20th, driven by a northward-moving southern jet stream bringing warmer airflows to the region.
Mega Heatwave Expected to Hit the UK in July
The UK is preparing for another significant heatwave, with temperatures projected to climb by mid-July. Last week, the country experienced its hottest day of the year at Heathrow Airport, where temperatures soared to 30.3°C (86.5°F).
Forecaster James Madden from Exacta Weather advised that the next wave of intense heat is expected to begin around July 8th. Madden highlighted a pattern change driven by a northward-moving southern jet stream, which will bring warmer airflows to the UK and Ireland. This forecast suggests the possibility of a “major heatwave or heat dome scenario” developing between July 10th and 20th, pushing temperatures even higher.
The Met Office corroborates these predictions, albeit with a cautious outlook for early July. They anticipate cooler, showery conditions transitioning into more settled weather patterns, with temperatures potentially exceeding average as the month progresses.
Residents are advised to stay informed as further updates will refine the forecast in the coming days.
