There will be a record-breaking five more summer heatwaves in Britain. Up to two weeks of extremely hot weather are expected in July, which might surpass the scorching 40.3C (105F) peak from the previous year.
However, despite the temperature rising above 32C, The Met Office issued many thunderstorm warnings for portions of the UK beginning on Sunday (June 25).
Five Heatwaves in Britain
A Met Office weather graphic depicting the impending “wall of rain” inundating Britain lists potential hazards such as floods, property damage, and power outages.
While there is still some doubt about whether thunderstorms will form as cooler conditions move in from the west, there is a chance that an organized line of thunderstorms will form across northern Britain on Sunday afternoon before moving east into the North Sea in the late afternoon.
- Britain faces five more summer heatwaves, potentially surpassing the previous peak of 40.3C.
- Thunderstorms are possible in northern Britain, likely to form after cooler conditions.
- Revelers threw water bottles, reduced alcohol consumption, and slept outside tents.
Northeast England and eastern Scotland are among the areas of the warning region where this is more likely to occur.
There will be a wide range of rainfall totals, but in certain locations, 30 to 40 mm of rain may fall in just one or two hours. Additional dangers include frequent lightning, big hail up to 3 cm in diameter, and strong, gusty winds.
Additionally, yellow heat advisories have been in effect for three days, from 9 a.m. on Friday to 9 a.m. today. Brits could learn how to stay cool from the Glastonbury attendees who are sweating profusely at Worthy Farm when the heat waves return.
A few festival-goers constructed improvised showers from plastic bags with holes in the bottom, while others lounged beneath covered stages while using portable fans that had been modified to spray water.
Revelers also threw water bottles over their heads, and bartenders at the event said that because of how hot it was, people were buying less booze. Many people were also seen sleeping outside of their tents.
