UK Heatwave Ends as Met Office Lifts Final Extreme Heat Warning

The Met Office lifted its final extreme heat warning at 9am Sunday after three consecutive days of record temperatures across the UK. Temperatures peaked at 37.3C in Santon Downham, Suffolk, on Friday. Rare red extreme heat warnings had been issued across large parts of the country, and the UK Health Security Agency had maintained heat health alerts for much of England.

Fresher air is moving in with patchy rain expected in western areas today before spreading east. Eastern England will remain hot and humid while other regions experience a gentle breeze. Monday will bring dry conditions and sunny spells for many parts of the UK.

Temperatures will reach around seasonal averages, with a high of 25C forecast for London. Overnight showers will continue across Scotland and Northern Ireland, and thunderstorms remain possible in northern areas later in the week. Average June temperatures in the mid-to-low twenties are expected for most regions through Thursday.
