Wisley previously saw 36 continuous dry days back in the notorious 1976 heatwave — but this record now stands to be beaten by more than 14 days. Despite forecasts predicting more variable temperature drops over the next few weeks, dry conditions are expected continue for most regions across the country. England has already faced two record-breaking heatwaves that led to more than 2,800 excess deaths in May and June.
