The Met Office is considering issuing rare extreme heat warnings as parts of the UK prepare for their fifth heatwave of the summer. Temperatures are forecast to reach 36C, continuing an unprecedented period of dry and hot weather across the country. This potential alert comes as the UK continues to bake under intense conditions, marking a significant weather event during a season already characterised by multiple heatwaves and persistent dryness throughout the region.
