The UK has been experiencing an intense heatwave, with temperatures soaring to record levels. The Met Office reported a peak of 34.8C at Kew Gardens, London, on May 25, marking the highest temperature recorded in meteorological spring. The heat is expected to persist this week, with forecasts of 31C on Wednesday and 30C on Thursday. However, the Met Office anticipates the heatwave will end by Sunday, May 31, when temperatures are projected to drop below 25C across the UK. An amber heat health alert is currently in effect for several regions, including the West Midlands and London, while a yellow alert is issued for other areas. The heatwave threshold varies, set at 25C for northern regions and 26C or 27C for southern England. Following the peak temperatures, conditions will cool significantly, with lows expected in the early 20s and even 18C in places like Glasgow and Plymouth by Sunday evening.
