Extreme Weather: UK Set To Be Hotter Than Los Angeles

UK previously experienced a heatwave three weeks ago, with June 17 marking the hottest day of the year so far.

According to report, the UK is set to be hotter than Los Angeles on Friday as temperatures push towards 30C ahead of a predicted heatwave.

Parts of the country will reach 28C by the afternoon, also surpassing top European holiday destination such as St Tropez, Marbella and Santorini, with conditions dry and sunny across England and Wales.

The Met Office has said it will start a consistent run of high temperatures over the next few days, meaning Britons could bask in an official heatwave.

London, the South East and East are expected to see highs of 28C and 26C on Friday while the South West is slightly cooler at 25C.

The Midlands and North West are also predicted to be 25C, while Wales could see 24C.

Saturday and Sunday will then be slightly cooler, though some cloud and rain will move across the North West.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), meanwhile, issued a level 2 heat-health alert warning ahead of the heatwave.

The alert is in place from 9am on July 11 until 9am on July 15, and covers the East of England, South East and London regions.
