UK weather: Brits face ANOTHER heatwave as exact date for 35C scorcher revealed

Brits look set to be hit by another heatwave in just a few days' time as temperatures could rise to 35C.

The UK is currently in the midst of its third heatwave of the year, with several parts of the country experiencing heat over 30C this week. This heatwave is due to end next week - despite temperatures rising over 30C again today - as rain is set to fall and help cool some areas down. However, it could soon be replaced by a fourth heatwave as GFS weather model maps reveal more sweltering highs are on the cards this month.

The maps reveal which days could see temperatures rise again, turning deep red to indicate the arrival of more sunshine. Conditions look set to start warming up again on July 19, as the data suggests temperatures might hit highs of 32C in the south-east. London and southern-central regions could see 30C.

The mercury is set to rise again on July 20 as temperatures could reach 35C. The maps for this date show almost all of England shaded in dark red. Major cities such as Manchester could see temperatures rise to 31C, with 32C in Birmingham. London could see the mercury levels go up to 34C, while Norfolk looks set to be hit with the 35C highs.

This potential heatwave is due to last three days with the final day on July 21. Weather maps show the temperatures dropping slightly on this day but still remaining rather hot.

London looks set to see highs of 29C and Birmingham could get 28C heat. The heatwave is not expected to hit Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, where maps predict temperatures will likely hover over the high teens and low 20Cs.

A heatwave is officially declared when an area hits the heatwave threshold for three consecutive days. The threshold varies from 25C to 28C across the UK.

This comes as an amber heat-health alertwas issued for six regions from Friday until Monday. An amber warning means the weather could pose a risk to life for some people, according to the UK Health Security Agency.

Met Office meteorologist Kathryn Chalk said yesterday: “While we’ve seen the peak of the heat in this heatwave through today it’s still going to be very warm on Sunday before turning cooler for many of us on Monday.

“So we’ve got this ridge of high pressure extending across the UK, helping to keep things settled, but out towards the west an area of low pressure moving through Sunday night and into Monday.

“So if you’re not a fan of the heat temperatures will be falling away but also bringing some heavy spells of rain, or welcome rainfall, for many of us.”
