'Super heatwave' warning as UK temperatures tipped to surge to 'high-30Cs' next month
ok.co.ukBrits are set to sizzle as a "super heatwave" is predicted to send temperatures soaring into the high-30Cs, according to a top weather expert.The Met Office has a clear definition of a heatwave, stating it's "when a location records a period of at least three consecutive days with maximum temperatures meeting or exceeding a heatwave temperature threshold".

James Madden, a forecaster with Exacta Weather, took to Facebook last night (Wednesday, June 5) to announce that a "major heatwave or super heatwave" is expected to hit the UK around "mid-summer".
