Summer Heatwave Warning as Temperatures Soar

Summer Heatwave Warning as Temperatures Soar

Author: The Daily News Now! June 8, 2026 Duration: 1:37

Summer’s heating up fast — the Met Office warns of serious heatwaves ahead, following a record-shattering May bank holiday that hit 35.1°C in London. After a brief cooldown, temperatures are surging again, with highs near 27°C by the end of the week and 26°C in Greater Manchester by Sunday, June 14th. While not officially a heatwave everywhere, it’ll feel intensely warm, especially in the North West. Mid-June brings a mix of showers and strong winds, particularly in the northwest, but drier spells and higher pressure are expected to return later, keeping temps around or slightly above seasonal averages.
