Another heatwave is forecast with weekends temperature Set south of England Fly up High as 30C degrees on Sunday.
Again, on Monday, Meteorological Office Is Estimated temperature Can reach a shock 34C degrees in London.
Met Office spokesman Graham Madge said: “The temperature models are slowly growing and we believe that the temperature will be the hottest on Monday in this heat period.”
He said that it is “most likely that there is a separate temperature somewhere in Southeast, London or perhaps Cambridge.”
This may mean that the country could see its hottest June day, standing at the previous record at 35.6C, which was recorded on 28 June 1976 at Southampton Meflower Park and on 29 June 1957 at Camden Square in North London.
So, why is it so hot in the capital? And is there any reason that the London heat looks very unbearable?
Air conditioning shortage
Unlike other countries around the world, which experience temperatures above 30C degrees, most houses in the UK are not lucky, which are not enough for air conditioning to avoid heat.
While London has air-conditioned shops and offices, not all have luxury in public transport-resulting in some very sticky commutes.
However, although air-conditioning in the city’s center shops provides some relief, the heat of waste from air conditioners and vehicles can add heat to the atmosphere, there may be an increase in temperature.
Buildings are designed for cold weather
For most years, the weather in the UK is not to cook sunlight, but a chiller climate, resulting in keeping homes in heat.
The country focuses on reducing the use of energy and maintaining homes untouched to maintain heat in winter, but this means it can be very hot in summer.
Urban Meteorological Specialist at University College London. Oscar Bruce told Independent: “The buildings efficiently absorb heat because we use them to make them due to their radiation and thermal properties inspired by the common materials we use.”
He said: “These qualities can be changed, for example, by applying green or cool roofs.”
Concentration of people in urban areas
The urban heat island effect is another phenomenon with densely populated.
“Staying in a city can increase vulnerability for heat. heat waves Due to high temperature and combined effects of urban micro-water age, ”the Met office has earlier warned.
The buildings absorb the sun’s heat instead of reflecting the sun, the forecaster explained.
Dr. Bruce said: “Buildings also actually leave the heat efficiently and can cool quickly.
“The issue in the urban environment is that this heat then returns to the surrounding buildings, so the cooling process is delayed and the so -called ‘urban heat island is a pioneer’, especially the morning pronounced in the morning just before sunrise; the best hours of the day.”
In cities like London, air speeds on tall buildings and narrow roads decrease, and removal of trees reduces the natural cooling effect of shading and evaporation, the meteorological office said.
Air pollution
Pollution from car smoke and aircraft not only reduces air quality, but also increases heat by getting stuck in it.
“Air pollution can also cause the effect of a subtle greenhouse gas layer, prevent heat from radiation back into the atmosphere,” the meteorological office said.
Dr. Bruce said: “Some aerosols can actually affect the upcoming solar radiation, especially, and reflect the part of the incoming energy, thus having a protective effect.
“It can also contribute to increasing cloud coverage, which have significant implications on the heating/cooling of the ground during the day/night.”
London location
Record -bracing temperatures are often recorded in London and Kent – which are the farthest south and east parts of the British islands.
Dr. Bruce reported that Heatwaves come from southern and eastern continental climate.
He said: “When they move north towards the north, they lose energy, from which the sherner parts speak relatively more.
“All this contributes to average warm temperatures in the south -east of England. At its top, London observes a clear urban heat island that further increases the average temperature experienced in the city.”
