Historic 1976 heatwave could look cool compared to what's coming in 30 years

Dozens of schools are set to close and transport bosses are urging people to avoid all but essential travel as rare red warnings for extreme heat are issued, with temperatures forecast to reach record highs for June. A “heat-dome” settling over western Europe could bring temperatures of up to 40C in some parts of England and Wales in the middle part of the week, the Met Office has said. Temperatures for the latest heatwave are likely to overtake the June record set in Hampshire in 1976 by several degrees and could come close to the UK’s all-time high of 40.3C, which was measured in July 2022. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stream Good Morning Britain live, every weekday from 6am on the ITVX 📲 http://daytimelink.itv.com/WatchGMBYT Subscribe now for more! http://bit.ly/1NbomQa Like, follow and subscribe to Good Morning Britain!
