This weekend, some areas in the UK will experience a drop in temperatures, but heat health alerts remain active across much of England. The highest temperatures are expected in the west Midlands and south-east Wales, reaching up to 33°C. Meanwhile, hosepipe bans have been implemented by several water companies due to low rainfall and high demand, affecting over five million people.
Looking ahead, the heatwave is anticipated to continue into next week, with temperatures potentially exceeding 30°C for 12 consecutive days. While some rain may arrive by the end of the week, the overall trend suggests above-average temperatures will persist, raising concerns about wildfire risks in affected regions.
