UK heatwave forecast to last 15 days with temperatures reaching 36C

The UK is experiencing a heatwave with temperatures exceeding 30C, and forecasters predict it could last for another 15 days. Weather models suggest scorching conditions may continue until July 22nd, with potential peaks of 36C in western England and widespread highs above 30C across much of the country. Twenty-three counties in England and Wales are expected to endure temperatures of 35C or above during this period, though the Met Office notes these highs may not rival June's record temperatures.
