UK set for new heatwave amid drought concerns

The UK is expected to experience another spell of intense summer heat next week, with temperatures forecast to climb as high as 36C (97F) in parts of south-east England.

Forecasters say temperatures will rise steadily over the weekend before increasing more sharply from Tuesday. The hottest conditions are expected on Wednesday and Thursday, with eastern and south-eastern England likely to see the highest temperatures.

The country's weather agency, the Met Office, said on Friday that much of England and Wales is likely to meet official heatwave criteria, while unusually hot conditions could also extend into parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland.
