‘Super heatwave’ is coming and will carry ‘hottest summer season ever’, professional warns
A super heatwave is going to bake Britain – and it’s just a few weeks away.
While the current weather hovering over the UK can’t decide if it’s hot, cold, or just miserably wet, experts are claiming brighter – much, much brighter – weather is coming to our shores next month.
According to Exacta Weather, a potential “super heatwave” will hit at the start of June, and it could outdo the “hottest summer ever” of 2018. The 2018 heatwave saw a record of 35.3C recorded in Faversham, Kent, with fears of 1,000 excess deaths warned of at the time.

However, although the Daily Star has reached out to Exacta Weather for exact temperatures, they have claimed that there are “very strong signals” that the super heatwave is coming.
They state: “It is now extremely favourable and more in agreement that high pressure will build in across our shores and take over within this developing period to deliver a largely warm and sunny bank holiday weekend for many, with the exception of the odd possible disturbance or shower in places (nothing major).
“However, further influential high pressure from the Azores is also gaining some considerable strength and consistency within the next several days, and when this occurs, it will literally tie us in to a pretty lengthy warm to hot period of weather with lots of strong and early summer sunshine building in for an extended period to end the meteorological spring and kick off the great British summer.

“This particular period and weather scenario for a heatwave is something we have been covering for these exact dates over the past several months . . . for around early June.”
Despite the claims – and to put a slight downer on the news – it does appear as if other long-term forecasts disagree.
According to the BBC’s experts, both temperatures and rainfall are more-likely to be a little above average overall at the start of June, with “further rain or showers, possibly heavy/thundery at times, and possibly slightly more likely in the southern half of the UK, but also some spells of warm sunshine”.
So, with that being, maybe sunbathing with a coat on could be the new look for 2024 . . .
