It's now 4/1 that we see the UK hit 42c or above before Wednesday
Bookmakers now make it 4/1 that we see the UK's weather hit 42C or above before Wednesday as temperatures continue to rise in the UK.
40-41.9C is the expected peak temperature according to betting site Smarkets, who go 2/9 that that will be the hottest temperature today.
The UK has exceeded 40C for the first time ever as temperatures climb further, with the record broken for the hottest day ever.
The original record for the hottest day ever was 38.7C recorded in 2019 and it's been well beaten today already.
Bookies give further specials with 5/1 odds that there's a hosepipe ban in London in July
Temperatures have risen across the UK and bookies are now providing warm weather specials on a variety of outcomes this month.
Odds of a hosepipe ban in London are 5/1, with a nationwide ban just above that at 7/1 as weather soars over the next week.
The last full hosepipe ban in England was back in 2012, with Northern Ireland having a ban in 2018 and breaking the rules can result in a £1000 fine if it was to happen.
Bookies gave odds of 7/2 that the UK would record it's hottest July day ever just last week and that has come in with today's heatwave.
UK to record lowest ever temperature in 2022 is 20/1
The continued climate change means that there are a whole host of betting specials around the weather in the UK for the rest of 2022.
It's not a surprise to see bookmakers offering odds on any day having the most rainfall EVER in the UK for the rest of 2022 as the UK is know for its rain.
The UK to record lowest ever temperature in 2022 is 20/1 and it wouldn't even be a massive surprise if that was to happen.
