How hot will it get in July? We could see temperatures in the late 30Cs - but it would take something extreme to get to 40C
Britain could see temperatures climb to the mid-to-high 30Cs in July but a repeat of last year's 40C days would take an "extreme event".The mercury has fallen slightly in the UK as June draws to a close but a Met Office spokesman said it "would not be a shock" to see the hotter weather return in a matter of weeks.
It may not happen in the first part of next month, but temperatures in the mid-to-high 30Cs are going to be more frequent in summer, Graham Madge said."We have a chance of warmer conditions and we have seen to that anyway with climate change," Met Office senior spokesman Grahame Madge told The Mirror.Britain could soon be basking in hot temperatures."We have to remember that there is currently a one per cent chance of 40C temperatures in our climate.
"Before the industrial revolution our climate was not capable of creating temperatures of 40C and even now it is not a regular thing but it will be by the end of the century."This means heatwaves - defined as when heat exceeds temperatures ranging from 25C to 28C, depending on the area of the UK, for three days - are more likely.
