UK Heatwave Ends with Wildfires and Storms | Glasgow News

UK just endured its fifth heatwave this summer, with London hitting a blistering 38.1°C — the hottest day of the year so far. But relief is on the way: a shift in the jet stream will bring cooler, changeable weather, including rain and thunderstorms, especially south of the border. Low pressure systems and northerly winds will ease the heat, though a yellow heat health alert remains active until Tuesday for the South East, South West, and London. The prolonged dry spell sparked devastating wildfires — 19 homes destroyed in Stourbridge, major blazes in South Wales — prompting nationwide mobile alerts and even an arson charge in east London. Stay prepared as the mercury drops, but don’t let your guard down. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
