Another UK heatwave looms after cooler end to weekend

The UK is experiencing a temporary cooling period on Sunday, with temperatures dropping by a few degrees across the country. This marks the end of the third heatwave of the year in some regions, such as Usk in Monmouthshire and Exeter in Devon, where temperatures will fall below the heatwave threshold after 21 consecutive days above it. However, this respite is expected to be brief, as high-pressure systems are anticipated to develop near the southern part of the UK next week. This will limit rainfall to northern and western areas, particularly north-west Scotland, while southern regions are predicted to experience rising temperatures again. The UK is likely to enter another heatwave, with temperatures in England and Wales reaching between 25°C and 32°C throughout much of next week. Yellow heat health alerts have been issued for several regions starting on 28 July 2026, lasting until 31 July. The UK Health Security Agency has warned that the heat could lead to minor impacts on health and social care services, with an increased risk to vulnerable individuals.
