The UK is bracing for another heatwave as temperatures are expected to soar to 36C in some areas, according to weather forecasts. This week, parts of Greater Manchester are set to experience record-breaking heat, with temperatures reaching up to 32C in the region. The prolonged period of high temperatures has raised concerns among local authorities and residents alike.

Meteorological services have warned that the heatwave could last several days, with conditions remaining dry and sunny. The Met Office has issued a heat health alert, urging people to take precautions, especially those who are vulnerable to the effects of extreme heat. Officials are advising the public to stay hydrated, avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, and check on neighbors who may be at risk.

The unusual weather pattern has also led to increased energy demand, prompting utility companies to monitor usage closely. While the heatwave is not expected to bring rainfall, it has sparked discussions about the long-term impact of climate change on the UK’s weather patterns. (manchestereveningnews.co.uk)
