UK Weather Odds: London just 5/1 to have a HOSEPIPE BAN as July Heatwave HOTS UP!

Weather soars in the UK with heatwave set to continue for next two weeks

The UK is in the midst of a massive heatwave currently, with temperatures over 30c in parts of the UK as Summer has well and truly arrived.

Betting on Hot Weather is a common betting market in the UK, with bookies offering various odds on the weather and other related markets.

It obviously wouldn't be the UK without a bit of pessimism about the weather and that's why there are already odds for cold weather betting too.

Parts of the UK were hotter than Los Angeles during the weekend with temperatures soaring to 31c in London on Sunday.

This is expected to rise further over the next couple of days with the Met Office giving warm weather warnings galore.

Bookies go just 5/1 that there's a hosepipe ban in London in July!

The rise in temperatures across the UK has made bookies provide 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.

July Weather Specials	Odds	Probability
Temperature in London to exceed 35 degrees	4/5	55.6%
Britain to record hottest ever July day	7/2	22.2%
Hosepipe ban in London in July	5/1	16.7%
Hosepipe ban nationwide in July	7/1	12.5%
Temperature in London to exceed 45 degrees	10/1	9.1%

The longest odds in the market are for temperatures to hit as high as 45 degrees in London which seems improbable but not impossible.

It remains just 7/2 that the UK records highest ever temperature in 2022

The ever-changing climate means that there are a whole variety of betting specials around the weather in the UK for the rest of 2022.

It's no surprise to see bookies offering odds on any day having the most rainfall EVER in the UK for the rest of 2022 as we're notorious for a bit of wet weather.

2022 Weather Specials	Odds	Probability
UK to record highest ever temperature in 2022	7/2	22.2%
Snow on Christmas Day in London	11/2	15.4%
Any single day to record most rainfall in UK History	10/1	9.1%
Any single day to record most snowfall in UK History	16/1	5.9%
UK to record lowest ever temperature in 2022	20/1	4.8%

These special odds have remained the same since our report last month, with bookies taking no chances on the weather specials markets.
