The UK faces a hotter-than-average summer with the potential for more heatwaves, forecasters have predicted.
After a record-breaking May where temperatures surged to 35.1C at Kew Gardens in London, cooler and wetter conditions have returned across much of the country.
But in its latest three-month outlook, covering June, July and August, the Met Office said the chances of a hot summer were higher than normal, raising the prospect of further spells of extreme heat in the months ahead.
Forecasters said temperatures were likely to rise again later this month, with “an increased chance of heatwaves and heat-related impacts”.
When will it get hot again?
