Large parts of the UK were trapped in an uncomfortable heatwave over the last 8 weeks. According to the Met Office, it’s still too early to tell if the rest of the summer is going to follow suit, but there is a strong possibility that this summer will see a heatwave in the UK to rival those of 2003 and 2006, which affected most of Europe. In anticipation of the hot weather to follow, the Met Office and the Department of Public Health have issued heat warnings and tips for coping with heatwaves throughout the UK.
