Temperatures to drop this week but relief from heat may be short-lived

The UK is set for cooler weather this week after a spell of record-breaking heat, but the reprieve may not last long.

New June heat records were set on three consecutive days last week, ending with 37.3C at Santon Downham in Suffolk, smashing the previous June record of 35.6C set in 1976.

This week, with weather coming in from the Atlantic on south-westerly winds, temperatures will fall and areas of low pressure will bring some rain.

By the weekend, however, high pressure may become more dominant with another chance of a heatwave on the way.
