Hot Weather in the UK

The UK is still experiencing hot weather. July had twice as many sunny days as usual, and the temperature is still high.

What is High Pressure?

High pressure acts like a lid over the UK, keeping rain clouds away and making it hard for new clouds to form. With few clouds, the sun shines for longer and heats up the ground.

Temperature in the UK

The temperature in southern England could reach 32C or 33C next week. Many parts of England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland will remain hot.

Record-Breaking Summer

This summer has been record-breaking. The UK had its hottest June on record, reaching 37.7C. It's also the first year to have temperatures of 35C or higher in May, June, and July.

Drought

Lack of rain has been a big story this summer. Much of England has had no rain this month.

Water Conservation

Over eight million homes in the UK are under watering bans. This means people can't use hoses to water their gardens or wash their cars, helping to conserve water.
