Deep Dive 30/06/2026 – How do the heatwaves compare? – Met Office weekly weather forecast UK

This is an in-depth Met Office UK Weather forecast for the next week and beyond. It's 50 years since the summer of 1976 and the long-standing June temperature records set in 1976 have been broken in the past week as extraordinary heat and humidity affected many (but not all) parts of the UK. But, aside from temperature records, how do the two heatwaves compare? Bringing you this deep dive is Met Office meteorologist Aidan McGivern.
