Those visiting the Southport Air Show this weekend will have to deal with warm weather with temperatures set to peak
September’s heatwave is likely to peak on Saturday with temperatures rising as high as 33C in parts of the UK.
Saturday is likely to be the hottest day of the year and would beat the previous one set in June at 32.2C, with the UK Health Security Agency issuing an amber warning for heat until Sunday evening at 9pm. This means weather impacts are likely to be felt across the health service, with those aged above 65 or those with pre-existing respiratory or cardiovascular disease at greater risk.
Named after the Greek letter omega because of its shape, this system occurs when an area of high pressure gets stuck between two areas of low-pressure to the west and east and also slightly south. This has brought torrential rain and flooding for Spain and Greece but hot, dry and clear conditions for the UK and central Europe.
The Met Office defines a heatwave as three consecutive days of a particular region exceeding a given threshold, which varies around the UK. For Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Cornwall and northern England, the threshold is 25C; for Somerset, Hampshire and the Welsh Borders, 26C; the south coast, East Anglia and the East Midlands, 27C; and for London and the home counties the threshold is 28C.
