UK to be hit by second heatwave in a matter of days from Mediterranean airstream

The country is set to be hit by another big heatwave as an airstream traveling across from the Mediterranean lands in the UK next month. While summer is in full swing in certain parts of the country, there's been plenty of rain and drizzle in other areas to bring the sunshine mood down.

While summer is in full swing in certain parts of the country, there's been plenty of rain and drizzle in other areas to bring the sunshine mood down. Back in early June, the forecaster stated: "We can also expect further changes to these third-party computer projections going forward and to pave the way for a very warm to exceptionally hot July, with the high possibility of some sort of mega or super heatwave developing for an extended duration within this period." He wrote: "It is still very early days for this developing scenario, but if things continue to develop as expected over the next several weeks, then there is no reason why we couldn't see temperatures topping out at the mid to high 30's at the very least, particularly in more southern areas, but even parts further north and all the way up to Scotland could see temperatures exceeding the 30C mark for a number of days in this part of July."
