Summary
UK just endured a brutal heatwave with record temps hitting 35.1°C in London, but relief is on the way — heavy rain, thunderstorms, and cooler weather are set to dominate the week. The sudden shift comes after deadly consequences: at least 14 deaths linked to heat-related water incidents, including a missing 11-year-old boy in the River Don. Thousands in Kent also battled water supply issues. While the downpour may be a blessing for gardeners and farmers, it signals summer’s intense heat is fading into unsettled conditions, with highs dropping into the low twenties.
