Beeston is bracing for a third heatwave of the year as the Met Office warns of a prolonged spell of hot and dry weather. Temperatures are forecast to climb to 32°C on Thursday 9 July and Friday 10 July, driven by an area of high pressure bringing extensive sunshine and light winds to the region.
UV levels will reach High at 7 throughout the week, prompting the Met Office to advise residents to seek shade during midday hours, cover up, and wear sunscreen. Pollen levels are set to be Very High from Tuesday through Thursday before dropping to High on Friday and Saturday. Met Office Deputy Chief Forecaster Steven Keates said: “Parts of the UK are entering heatwave conditions: the third heatwave in the UK so far this year. However, unlike the May and June heatwaves, we are not expecting this heatwave to be record-breaking.”
Conditions are expected to be less humid than the record-setting June heatwave, which saw England reach 37.7°C at Lingwood, Strumpshaw Hill on 26 June. That event also brought exceptionally warm nights, with a new UK overnight minimum of 23.5°C recorded at Cardiff Bute Park. More than 150 weather stations set new June maximum temperature records during that spell. The current hot weather in Beeston will build gradually, with temperatures rising from 26°C on Tuesday before moderating to around 27°C by Sunday and Monday.
The long-range outlook points to temperatures staying above average through mid-July, with an increasing risk of thunderstorms as the period wears on. The Met Office’s Beeston forecast shows the dry, sunny pattern holding until the weekend, when the chance of thundery showers begins to edge upward.
