Temperatures to dip slightly as UK passes peak of third heatwave this summer
The hot weather is set to continue on Sunday, but temperatures are due to drop slightly as the UK passes the peak of its third heatwave this summer. Temperatures soared on Saturday, with Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales all recording their warmest day of the year so far. The Met Office said Aviemore hit 32.2C, adding that Scotland last exceeded 30C on June 13 2023, and that Saturday is only the seventh time since at least 1961 that the same high has been recorded in the country. It's been a widely hot day, with Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales all seeing their highest temperature of the year so far 🌡️ — Met Office (@metoffice) July 12, 2025 Meanwhile, it was 30C in Magilligan, marking the first time the milestone had been reached in Northern Ireland since July 18 2022. And temperatures in Wales hiked to 33.1C in Cardiff's Bute Park, beating the 2025 record set on Friday of 32.4C at the same location. Although England was also hot, with maximum temperatures also hitting 33.1C in Ross-on-Wye in Herefordshire, it did not break the country's current record for the year of 35.8C – recorded in Kent at the beginning of July. Temperatures are forecast to dip marginally on Sunday, with possible highs of 31C, before Monday brings some relief from the baking heat. Met Office meteorologist Kathryn Chalk said: 'While we've seen the peak of the heat in this heatwave through today it's still going to be very warm on Sunday before turning cooler for many of us on Monday. 'So we've got this ridge of high pressure extending across the UK, helping to keep things settled, but out towards the west an area of low pressure moving through Sunday night and into Monday. 'So if you're not a fan of the heat temperatures will be falling away but also bringing some heavy spells of rain, or welcome rainfall, for many of us.' Tennis fans will continue to grapple with the heat at Wimbledon following a few days where spectators needed medical attention amid high temperatures. In response, the All England Club said it significantly increased the number of on-screen communications and push notifications to remind guests to stay hydrated and seek respite from the sun. The club also said service stewards on court have access to water for spectators in need, that on-site medical teams are ready to assist when required and that the grounds have more than 100 free water refill points as well as a pharmacy where guests can buy sunscreen. Amber heat health alerts are in place for the Midlands and southern and eastern England until 9am on Monday, warning of the potential for a rise in deaths, particularly among those aged 65 and over or with health conditions. Fire chiefs urged people to stay safe as they warned of the increased risk of wildfires and drowning, with the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) asking people not to enter water to try to cool down and urging parents and carers to ensure children are supervised around water at all times. Firefighters in Surrey were tackling a wildfire on Hankley Common in Thursley on Saturday which spanned across approximately eight hectares, with Surrey Fire and Rescue Service urging nearby residents to close windows and doors and the public to otherwise avoid the area. Meanwhile, Scottish fire crews spent a second day tackling a wildfire in Perth near the M90 in the Craigend area, as an 'extreme' wildfire warning is in place for much of the nation. The risk of wildfires in London is rated 'severe' by the Natural Hazards Partnership. HM Coastguard also issued safety advice for people heading to the coast, as data from the water incident database shows most drownings happened in July over the last three years. As well as the amber alerts, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has yellow alerts in place until Monday for the North East, North West and Yorkshire and Humber. Yorkshire Water brought in restrictions on using hosepipes for activities such as watering the garden, cleaning cars and filling paddling pools, on Friday, as part of efforts to protect supplies in the face of yet more dry weather forecast for the coming weeks. South East Water said demand for drinking water had reached 'record levels since May' and announced impending restrictions which will mean customers in Kent and Sussex are banned from using a hosepipe to water gardens and plants, clean vehicles, fill swimming pools or ponds or clean paths, walls or windows from July 18. Those who ignore the bans could face fines of up to £1,000. National Rail warned train passengers that the hot weather may cause disruption this weekend. Meanwhile, the RNLI warned beachgoers that, despite the heat, there is still a risk of cold water shock.

Quentin Sage, scene commander, told the Gazette: "We need to make the public aware of the risks involved with wildfires, which we're classing this as now - and because of the size and intensity of it. "The areas are very dry and there's rapid fire spread, and where people are setting little fires there's a risk that they'll chase the people and be quicker than what the people will get out of the areas. "So there's a risk to life that we're really concerned about. So if people do see anything suspicious, if they can either contact us, directors of fire service, or do it through fire stoppers."

Large fire breaks out on nature reserve
A large fire has broken out on a nature reserve in Surrey as the UK bakes in its third heatwave of the year. Surrey Fire & Rescue Service said there were16 fire engines at the scene on Hankley Common, in Thursley, in a post on X just before 18:00 BST. It said the fire was covering about eight hectares (20 acres) and advised local people to avoid the area and to close windows and doors. Laura Watts, who works at a nearby pet shop, said she could smell smoke at about 16:15BST, shortly after which a fleet of fire engines turned up. Hankley Common has been used as a film set, including for the James Bond film Skyfall, and the Marvel movie Black Widow. It is an important heathland habitat and home to ground-nesting birds, including nightjars and skylarks. Ms Watts described the moment she realised it was on fire. "We smelt the smoke and went outside, which is when we saw it billowing up," she said. "The fire teams turned up not long afterwards and blocked the road with their vehicles and told people to stay away." She said the firefighters had been working at the scene for a few hours "because the wind keeps picking up and spreading it". "We were handing out water bottles to them because it's such a hot day," she added. A SFRS spokesperson said: "We currently have 16 appliances attending a wildfire on Hankley Common, Thursley. "The fire is covering approximately eight hectares. "Please avoid the area and nearby residents should close windows and doors." In England on Saturday, temperatures peaked at 33C (91.4F), which was recorded in Ross on Wye, falling short of Friday's peak of 34.7C (94.5F). The latest heatwave has led to hosepipe bans being declared, with wildfire warnings in place across much of the country. The common is a 560 hectare (1,400 acre) nature reserve, part of the Thursley, Hankley and Frensham Commons Special Area of Conservation, Special Protection Area and Site of Special Scientific Interest. A significant portion of it is owned by the Ministry of Defence, which uses the land for military training. Another portion of the area is owned by the Hankley Common Golf Club.
