TEMPERATURES HAVE RISEN to 30C in south-east England over the weekend as the UK prepares for a fifth heatwave in the coming week. Meanwhile, north-west Scotland has been hit by half a month’s rainfall in just two days. Forecasters said Monday will be slightly cooler but heatwave conditions will likely return next week, with a high of 36C expected in parts of East Anglia and the South East by Thursday. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has issued yellow heat health alerts for the East Midlands, West Midlands, South East, South West, East of England, Yorkshire and the Humber, and London. While drought-hit parts of England and Wales struggle, more than half a month’s rainfall hit north-west Scotland in the last 48 hours, the Met Office said.
