A heatwave is forecast for London over the coming days, with temperatures expected to reach the low-to-mid 30s Celsius. Multiple outlets report forecasts indicating values of around 32C early in the week and up to around 34–35C at the hottest point.
The timing differs slightly by forecast, with one forecast peak described as occurring on Tuesday, 28 July, while other reports focus on Thursday as the likely “peak” and “absolute peak” day. One outlet also describes a return to hotter conditions after a brief cooler period, while another refers to a five-day scorching stretch in July. Alongside the temperature outlook, the Evening Standard says London is placed on wildfire alert, and notes that the hottest spell is expected to come as thunderstorms are avoided.
Overall, outlets agree on a sustained period of above-average heat and a forecast peak in the week ahead, but they vary on the exact day the maximum temperatures will be reached. Sources also point to continued monitoring of weather warnings in the wider South East.
