Temperatures in the UK will rise into the 30s, and experts warned little rain was on the horizon to ease the record dry spell currently underway since the last heatwave that pushed temperatures over 40C for the first time in history.
The Met Office's Annie Shuttleworth told The Independent that “very warm air” across continental Europe means temperatures could be 10C higher than average in some areas. “Whilst not as extreme as recent heatwaves, persistent above average temperatures across much of Iberia and southern France will likely exacerbate ongoing heat-related issues,” she said.
Almost all of France is now subject to water use restrictions due to the drought. The country is already experiencing another heatwave this summer, during which thousands of people have been evacuated because of wildfires. Almost 400 hectares have burnt since the weekend.
