UK Weather Maps Show 41C Heatwave Days Away as 18 Counties Top 40C

Weather maps have raised the possibility of another severe UK heatwave, with one computer model projecting temperatures of up to 41°C on 11 July. The darkest areas extend across 18 English counties, potentially placing parts of the country above the national record.

However, the headline figure comes from long-range Global Forecast System data displayed by WXCharts, not a confirmed Met Office forecast. Official guidance supports an increasing chance of hot weather but remains far less specific about temperatures and locations.
