Due to this, severe weather and health forewarnings have been issued for the UK, making public aware about both the heatwave and probable flooding.
According to the Met Department, England bathed in sun this Monday, with temperatures reaching 31°C, and Tuesday is potentially to be the hottest day of the year so far, with temperatures reaching up to 34°C.
However, hot and humid air is likely to cause thunderstorms across much of the UK from Tuesday evening till late on Wednesday.
The Met Office forecasts that this will result in 30 mm of rain in an hour though the average amount of rainfall for the whole of July is 78.1mm. Wales, northern England and the Midlands will be the most affected areas.
This high temperature possibly will make people ill as Public Health England (PHE) have affirmed a Level 2 health alert for the next few days.
According to PHE and NHS guidance, temperatures must rise to 24.5°C before people start to die. The prompt temperatures which warn the authorities to act instantly include 33°C, when roads begin to melt.
