August looks like starting in the same vein with extended periods of showery weather or more prolonged rain as low-pressure systems continue to move near the UK. High pressure is likely to build at times next month, but not enough for a heatwave to be declared, forecasters say. Temperatures will heat up slightly but still could be lower than the average expected at that time of the year. Met Office spokesman Grahame Madge said: "There is no forecast signal for temperatures to reach last year's threshold this year. The chance of reaching 40C is around one per cent, so it is unlikely in any given year, but of course, it remains feasible. "The fact that the UK's atmosphere is capable of producing 40C is now locked in so it is likely that in years to come we will see a repeat, especially as the background climate continues to warm." The Met Office's Rachel Ayers said there is a "below average" chance of it being warm or hot. Sizzling temperatures are set to hit 49C in the coming days as Europe continues to battle against the deadly and devastating heatwave. As wildfires rip through Spain and Croatia sparking mass evacuations, British tourists taking their holidays across southern Europe have been warned of a "significant" risk to life.
