The UK is set to experience multiple heatwaves from mid-July, according to the Met Office’s recent long-range forecast.

Meanwhile, in Washington D.C., the hot weather persists with temperatures expected to hit 92-97°F over the weekend, accompanied by high humidity and possible storms. Cooler temperatures are anticipated from Monday, with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s.
