Exact date UK to be hotter than Barbados as Met Office declares new heatwave
The Met Office anticipates highs of 32C this week as forecasters understand conditions will meet the official threshold for an official second heatwave in quick succession The UK will be warmer than Barbados on Friday - with the mercury expected to hit 32C. The Met Office has declared another heatwave is on its way with temperatures staying warm for some time. This period will envelope Friday, the hottest day of this run, when the mercury will likely reach 32C across the South East of England and parts of the East of England. But it will only be 28C and 29C across Barbados, more than 4,000 miles from London. Weather maps also show a band of low pressure looming to the south of the British Commonwealth nation and, though the downpours won't hit Barbados until Saturday, conditions will be cloudy and breezy on Friday. It will be some contrast to the blue skies expected here on Friday. Scorching 30C temperatures are anticipated as far north as West Yorkshire, and as far west as Shropshire. While it will be sunny across south Wales, it is expected to be 28C - on par with Barbados in the Caribbean. Deputy Chief Meteorologist Dan Holley, of the Met Office, said: "High pressure from the Atlantic will gradually exert its influence over the UK this week. We'll see temperatures build day-on-day, with the potential for hot conditions to become quite widespread by the end of the week and into the weekend. "On Wednesday, temperatures could reach up to 28°C in parts of England, climbing to 30°C on Thursday and 32°C by Friday. By this stage, heatwave criteria are likely to be met in parts of England and Wales, and in parts of Scotland over the weekend. "High temperatures are likely to persist into the weekend, especially away from coasts with onshore winds, reaching the low 30s in portions of England and Wales, and accompanied by rising humidity and warmer nights. "This heatwave is likely to last longer than previous ones so far this summer, and affect a wider area, with the focus for some of the highest temperatures displaced across more central and western areas at times. In addition, pollen and UV levels will also be very high in some areas." While the heatwave will last longer than the previous one, it won't be quite as warm. During the hot blast last month, the mercury rocketed to 35C following the formation a "heat dome" in Europe. It send plumes of hot air our way and, as a result, authorities warned Brits across the South East of England to stay indoors. And as temperatures here start rising again from tomorrow, a jump is likely from Monday's peak of 24.9C recorded in Pershore, Worcestershire. The Met Office understands the Southwest of England will see the warmest weather until Friday's drastic change.

Flying ant swarms as large as rain clouds as Welsh experts advise action
Wildlife experts in North Wales have warned that swarms of flying ants are this summer set to be amongst the 'biggest in recent memory'. It follows ideal breeding conditions for the insects, with warm weather interspersed with wetter spells. Already swarms have been detected over parts of Britain that were so large, they were mistaken for shower clouds when picked up on radar this week. Near London they appeared as 'strange, flashing echoes' on Met Office radar screens. The forecaster noted: 'Radar works by emitting electromagnetic beams that reflect off small particles like raindrops. Flying ants, being similar in size to raindrops, can also reflect these beams, creating radar signatures that resemble precipitation. "This phenomenon, often seen during 'Flying Ant Day,' is a fascinating example of how biological activity can intersect with meteorological technology.' It is a common misconception that flying ants appear only one day every summer. But research has revealed the insects take flight on multiple occasions during the summer, typically from mid-July to the end of August. This year's warmer-than-average weather appears have triggered earlier swarms. Join the North Wales Live WhatsApp community group where you can get the latest stories delivered straight to your phone Queen ants and males tend to leave their nests to create their own colonies when the weather is hot and humid - typically when the temperature exceeds 25C, there is little wind and there is a chance of rain in the following days. North Wales Wildlife Trust is warning householders to expect some inundations this year. A spokesperson said: 'Flying ants will be taking to the skies towards the end of July in a mating process which can actually last several weeks. 'The warm weather and wet conditions are likely to cause huge swarms this year - it's expected to be one of the biggest in recent memory! It's best to keep your windows and doors shut during their peak swarming time and leave them to it!" Ants mate on the wing because it increases their chances of reproduction. The queen will then attempt to start a new nest before losing her wings. Each nest will have a single queen, typically presiding over worker ants that can number between 5,000-15,000. Like most flies, the ants are attracted to sweet foods, so it's best to keep these covered if you don't want your house to be invaded. Fly screens will help prevent them entering homes. In hot weather – like that forecast for later this week – keeping curtains shut during the day will help to keep them out while also maintaining cooler temperatures. Flying ants can bite, although the bite is usually not harmful. In the UK, most of them are common black garden ants whose mandibles can't bite through human skin. On the other hand, red ants can bite if they feel threatened – and they do have a stinger. Their bites can cause a sharp, painful sting and may lead to a mild allergic reaction.

A spokesperson added: 'Although they may be a bit of a nuisance, black ants are an important source of food for birds, and a friend to butterflies. Their tunnelling is also vital for soil health.'

Met Office urges Brits to follow 4 rules in extreme heat this week
Heatwave thresholds are set to be met this week with millions of Brits urged to follow four strict rules to stay safe in the boiling mercury Britain is set to be plunged into another heatwave in just hours as the mercury is set to skyrocket yet again. The Met Office has confirmed that temperatures could climb into the low 30Cs again by the end of this week. Deputy chief meteorologist Dan Holley said: 'High pressure from the Atlantic will gradually exert its influence over the UK this week. We'll see temperatures build day-on-day, with the potential for hot conditions to become quite widespread by the end of the week and into the weekend." When heatwave thresholds are met, the forecaster urges Brits to follow a set of guidelines for safety in the heat. These include daylight hours to swerve if you're negatively impacted by the heat, to watching over neighbours who could be vulnerable in such conditions. One of their core rules is to avoid the sun at its strongest, which is 11am to 3pm. How mixing sunny days and alcoholic beverages can take a toll on your health The Met Office coupled with the UKHSA said in its guidance: 'The heat can affect your health and make you feel unwell, there are many simple things you can do to keep yourself safe.' Brits are to bring water with them wherever they go, as well as wear sunscreen protection. A wide-brimmed hat is strongly recommended for extra protection. Drinking plenty of fluids is important to keep hydrated in hot temperatures. When it's hot, the body sweats to cool down and naturally loses fluids. Drinking water is key, IU Health said. As many Brits use public transport to get around, this is crucial, especially during rush hour, when trains and buses tend to be extra packed with people trying to get home. For those who love to spend time outdoors exercising or enjoy the weather, it's best to avoid doing so between 11am and 3pm, when the sun is the strongest. If you decide to go out for the sunshine, SPF protection is a must. The higher, the better. Last but not least, close the curtains in rooms that face the sun if you're going to be out of the house for a long time. Why? Because the sun can radiate through the windows, making your home hotter than it needs to be. By closing the curtains, your house remains cooler. It's also helpful if you have any pets at home, to prevent them from feeling uncomfortable and in worst cases, getting heatstroke. When will the heatwave end? While the mercury is set to creep up to heatwave levels by this weekend, there are signs, according to the Met Office, that things will begin to cool down by early next week. "Exactly how quickly this transfers eastwards is uncertain," the Met Office said. "It's certainly possible that hot conditions may persist for a while longer, especially towards the south and east."
