Western Europe is expected to experience another heat wave, with Britain potentially seeing its fifth heat wave of the summer. Temperatures are forecasted to reach as high as 38 Celsius in central and southeast England. This summer is on track to be the hottest on record in Britain, with the Met Office stating that average conditions for the rest of August would be enough to beat last year's record.

The heat has caused discomfort, particularly in hospitals where nursing staff have been affected by heat exhaustion. Further details on the heat wave and its impact are available from the source, including information on the record temperatures and the challenges faced by hospitals and nursing staff.
