After a brief spell of cooler weather, forecasters say another heatwave could arrive across parts of the UK next week, bringing temperatures back into the high 20s and low 30s in some areas. If it happens, it will be the fourth official heatwave of the summer.
Whether you're commuting, working outdoors, caring for children, or planning a weekend trip, here's what you need to know.
Another Heatwave Could Be on the Way
According to forecasters, high pressure is expected to build across the UK next week, leading to warmer and drier conditions, particularly in southern and central England.
Some areas could see temperatures reach or exceed 30°C, with the warmest weather expected during the middle of the week.
Why Is This Significant?
The UK has already experienced three official heatwaves this summer.
A fourth would continue one of the hottest and driest summers in recent years, with prolonged dry weather already leading to:
Hosepipe bans in several areas
Increased wildfire risk
Heat health alerts
Drought declarations in some regions of the UK
Who Should Take Extra Care?
Hot weather can affect anyone, but extra care is advised for:
👶 Babies and young children
👵 Older adults
🤰 Pregnant women
❤️ People with underlying health conditions
🏗️ Those working outdoors
If temperatures rise as forecast, remember to drink plenty of water, stay in the shade during the hottest part of the day, and keep your home as cool as possible.
Planning to Travel?
If you're travelling next week, keep an eye on transport updates.
Very hot weather can sometimes lead to:
Slower train services
Rail speed restrictions
Delays due to heat affecting tracks
Heavy traffic as more people head to beaches and parks
Hosepipe Bans Still Apply
If your water company has introduced a hosepipe ban, the restrictions remain in place even during the hotter weather.
Using a hosepipe where a ban is in force could result in enforcement action and, in some cases, a fine of up to £1,000. Always check your local water supplier's guidance before using one.
Auntie Tobi's Tip 💚
The UK doesn't always feel hot—but when temperatures climb above 30°C, they can affect your health, travel plans and even water usage.
Keep a reusable water bottle with you, check on elderly neighbours or relatives, and stay up to date with local weather forecasts if you're planning to be outdoors.
