in heatwave territory. For a heatwave to be officially recognised, temperatures must exceed specific thresholds for three consecutive days. These thresholds vary by region: 28°C in London and the southeast, 27°C in parts of the Midlands, and 25°C across much of Wales, northern England, Scotland, and Northern
