By Heatwave to last until August in ‘hottest summer for years’ for region
The latest figures from the Met office show the current heatwave, set for the Grimsby and Cleethorpes area, could continue and persist until August, which could see the hottest temperatures the area has seen for years.
The Met Office issued a Level 2 warning for North and North East Lincolnshire earlier this week, in place for the next few days.
This weekend temperatures are to hit 25C. While there is a chance of some rainy spells, these sunny days are expected to continue through till next week. Tuesday will be cloudier but will still be warm.
Cleethorpes beach will no doubt be expected to be busy because of the weather, but people are reminded to be cautious with high temperatures.
Temperatures in Grimsby are predicted to stay between 20C and 26C until July 21. There will be some breezy spells as winds are set to reach 32mph in the evening on 17 July, the winds will start to calm over the following days.
Periods of cloud and rain are still forecast into August but temperatures will still be “wildly above average” and “potentially very warm or hot at times.” It will become slightly cooler past August 5 but warmth will be retained across the whole of England.
Government officials previously predicted that this summer could be much hotter than normal. August is set to be the hottest month of the year.
From Friday, there will be temperatures of 28C in parts of the country, kickstarting the heat wave.
There has been a level 2 heat-health alert issued ahead of the weather, issued by the UK Health Security Agency. The warning is in place covering Monday 11 July until Friday 5 July, for the east of England, southeast, and London.
The Met Office cites a heatwave from high temperatures being recorded for three consecutive days. A previous heatwave was recorded just three weeks ago, 17 June, which was the hottest day of the year so far.
Temperatures are expected to be in the region of the high 20s over the weekend, chief meteorologist David Oliver predicted.
