The United Kingdom is expected to experience changeable weather over the weekend, with a mix of sunshine and showers, before temperatures rise significantly early next week, particularly in the south where highs could reach up to 33 degrees Celsius. The Met Office has indicated that parts of central and southern England may see temperatures in the low to mid-30s Celsius. In response, yellow heat health alerts have been issued for some areas of England as temperatures are forecast to climb above 30 degrees Celsius. This heat increase is part of a broader pattern affecting Europe, where rolling heatwaves and severe drought conditions are expected to persist throughout the summer, leading to deadly temperatures, water shortages, and spikes in energy prices. The heatwaves are also impacting Europe's nuclear power infrastructure, forcing some plants to be taken offline, a situation projected to worsen in the coming decades with limited mitigation options. The Met Office has highlighted that the UK could be on the verge of another heatwave as temperatures rise into the start of next week.
