Feeling Hot Hot Hot! London Braces for Sizzling Summer Heatwave

London is about to turn into a sizzling inferno this August, so get your sunscreen ready and fans cranked up to the max! As Europe sweats it out in record-breaking temperatures, forecasters are warning that the heatwave may be making its way to our doorstep, with temperatures predicted to soar well above 41C. That’s some serious scorching heat!

According to the latest NetWeather maps, London is gearing up to experience scorching temperatures reaching as high as 28C on August 23, with the upcoming week expected to hover around 24C. And it seems like these toasty conditions are here to stay until the end of the month. Hold onto your hats, folks!

But don’t just take our word for it. The BBC Weather forecast for August 19 to August 25 predicts a high degree of uncertainty in the longer-range models, hinting at the potential for a battle between low pressure and high pressure systems. This could mean that the rest of August will be a rollercoaster of changeable weather, with periods of wet and windy conditions mixed in with a few dry spells. However, there’s still hope for some warm spells wafting up from the south, keeping temperatures close to the August average.

Looking ahead to the end of August and early September, there are rumors of weak high pressure making a comeback, potentially bringing slightly warmer, drier, and calmer conditions. But before we get too excited, this high pressure influence might just be fleeting due to a persistent low pressure trough stubbornly lingering to the northwest of Scotland.
