POLICY WIRE — London, UK — The heatwave that has been affecting southeast England is expected to end on Friday, with a notable shift towards cooler conditions forecasted for the weekend.

Meteorological reports indicate that the unusually high temperatures, which have dominated the region, will begin to decline, offering relief to residents and businesses alike. The change in weather is anticipated to bring fresher air and lower temperatures, marking a significant departure from the recent hot spell.

The Met Office has confirmed that the transition to cooler weather is due to a change in atmospheric conditions, with cooler air masses moving in from the Atlantic. This shift is expected to affect not only southeast England but also other parts of the UK, bringing an end to the heatwave conditions.
