Britain is expected to experience its fourth heatwave of the summer next week, with forecasters predicting temperatures could reach 35C. The heatwave follows a summer of high temperatures, including a record-breaking 37.7C in June. Parts of England are subject to yellow heat health alerts, which will remain in effect until Sunday morning, and a hosepipe ban currently applies to over 20 million Britons.
