UK Faces Fourth Heatwave This Week Amid Limited Rain Forecasts

UK heatwave July 2026 rain forecast wildfires low reservoirs

The Met Office says a fourth heatwave will strike the United Kingdom in the coming days, with temperatures in southern England expected to reach 32‑33 °C and possibly up to 35 °C in some areas. Yellow heat alerts have been issued for the East and West Midlands, the South‑East, South‑West, parts of eastern England and Yorkshire and the Humber, running from Tuesday morning to Friday morning. The UK Health Security Agency warned that the heat could have significant impacts on health and social‑care services, especially for vulnerable groups.

Rain is forecast for 49 counties across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland on Monday, offering a brief respite but insufficient to alleviate drought conditions. Somerset’s key reservoirs are at exceptionally low levels – Blagdon at 59 % capacity and Wimbleball at 57 % – while water supplies elsewhere remain stressed. The prolonged hot and dry spell has already fuelled severe wildfires, prompting evacuations in Wales and Scotland, including a major incident in the Cairngorms National Park.

Forecasters note the heatwave should be short‑lived, with temperatures expected to cool toward average by the weekend, and further rainfall possible in early August.
