💨 Abstract

A UK forecaster has warned of prolonged heatwave conditions, with temperatures potentially exceeding 40°C this summer. The UK is now 20 times more likely to experience such extreme heat compared to the 1960s, due to climate change. This increase in heatwaves is part of a concerning trend, with the Met Office predicting a 50% chance of seeing 40°C temperatures again within the next 12 years.
