For a heatwave to be recorded in Manchester, the temperature needs to hit 25C on three consecutive days
The Met Office has given its verdict on whether an official heatwave will be recorded in Manchester next week as temperatures look set to soar.
The spokesperson said: "Whilst we may see above 25 C early next week, it is unlikely of heatwave criteria to be met in Manchester– which is seeing 25C reached or exceeded for three consecutive days. Temperatures are likely to reach 25C possibly 26C, maybe peaking on Tuesday before turning cooler later mid-week."
"Some central and southern areas are likely to see temperatures approaching the values needed for heatwave conditions. Heatwave conditions need to remain in situ for three consecutive days, and by the beginning to middle of next week it is possible that some parts of the UK could be reaching heatwave thresholds.
