Forecasters have predicted that a two week long heatwave will take place in July, with temperatures expected to hit 40C in the UK.

The UK is expected to be hit by a 14-day long heatwave next month as temperatures reach a scorching 40C. The Weather Company has reported that the heatwave is expected in early and late July.

If forecasters are correct, July 2023 could beat last year’s record-breaking temperature of 40.3C, which was experienced in Lincolnshire. The upcoming scorching temperatures have been backed up by the Met Office, which agreed extreme temperatures are ‘not out of the question’, with the mercury boosted by hot continental air.
