As the UK prepares for its third significant heatwave of the season, meteorologists are warning that this particular spell of sweltering weather may prove more persistent than previous events. While the mercury hit a staggering 37.7C in late June, current projections suggest a slightly more moderate peak of 35C; however, the duration of this heat is what concerns experts most.
For those planning to escape to the continent for their summer holidays, the situation is even more intense. A widespread heatwave is currently gripping much of Europe, with authorities issuing urgent health alerts across popular tourist destinations. From the Iberian Peninsula to the Mediterranean coast, travelers should be prepared for extreme conditions.
