A Met Office spokesperson has responded to claims of another 'heatwave' and theories on what might happened towards the end of the month.
A Met Office spokesman said: "There is no indication in our forecast of any heatwave in the UK and certainly no indication that the heatwave impacting parts of Europe is going to impact the UK."
"There's been a lot of hyped up media coverage but there's nothing in the forecast to suggest anything more than average or potentially slightly above average temperatures."
