First heatwave of 2025 likely as temperatures to surge above 30C

Get ready for a heatwave in the UK as temperatures are expected to surpass 30C (86F) this week due to a building area of high pressure. Some regions may even surpass the highest recorded temperature of 29.4C (85F) this year in Suffolk. To officially declare a heatwave, the Met Office requires three consecutive days of temperatures above a threshold, ranging from 25C in the north to 28C in eastern England. Stay prepared for a potential heatwave as conditions heat up.
