Who forecasts the weather?
The Met Office is the UK's national weather service, responsible for providing forecasts and warnings. They use supercomputers and expert meteorologists to predict weather patterns, including potential heatwaves. Their forecasts help the public and emergency services prepare for significant weather events, like the one mentioned in the story.
