Temperatures are set to soar above 30°C for parts of the country next week, as forecasters predict a fourth heatwave of the year may be on its way.

After a much-needed cooler period this weekend, temperatures will start to rise again throughout next week, with some locations, including Usk, Monmouthshire and Exeter, and Devon reaching heatwave thresholds for the 20th consecutive day.

This comes as a wildfire in Cairngorms National Park, Scotland has forced over 600 people to be evacuated, and hosepipe bans continue across much of the south of England and Wales.

When is a heatwave declared?

Heatwaves in the UK are declared when temperatures reach or exceed a certain threshold for three consecutive days.
