Temperatures across the UK are expected to rise above 30C, marking what could be the third heatwave of the year, with highs reaching up to 33C in southern and southeastern England. Heat may persist into mid-July as high pressure from the Azores strengthens, while western areas remain cooler due to an Atlantic breeze. Yellow heat health alerts have been issued for multiple English regions due to heightened risks for vulnerable groups. The warm spell is driven by a ridge of high pressure and a northward shift in the jet stream, creating settled, sunny conditions.
