Just like 2022, the 40 degree heatwave has been predicted for the upcoming hot weather stint in July, however, it is difficult to guarantee at this stage if temperatures will indeed go that high.
"We can say there is a greater than normal chance of heatwaves for the whole period of the middle to the end of July."
