Yellow heat health alerts this week see odds now given on record temperatures in the UK
The UK will see a heatwave take place this week with temperatures set to hit more than 30C and now OLBG look at the latest betting odds around records being hit.
The highest temperature ever recorded in the UK in June was all the way back on 28 June 1976 with the Met Office giving Southampton Mayflower Park a recording of 35.6C.
Now the latest odds given by the OLBG experts say there's a 2/1 chance that we see that record shattered at some point before the end of the week with warnings now in place.
Those odds from OLBG's weather betting expert say that there's a 33.3% probability that the record is hit in the next week as temperatures are on the rise.
| 35.7C hit in the UK before end of June | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Yes | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| No | 1/2 | 66.7% |

What the expert says...
Yellow heat health alerts are given by the UK Health Security Agency
The UKHSA, or UK Health Security Agency to give them their full name, have now given yellow health alerts across England with hot weather expected over the coming days.
The weather health alert system is fairly new with the UKHSA and Met Office only introducing it in June 2023 and it's expected that we'll see plenty more warnings in the coming years.
Scotland and Northern Ireland will see their hottest days in the next 48 hours with the south of England and Wales expected to see that weather last throughout the week.
Betting On Hot Weather (Odds & History, Record Breakers)
UK has seen months of rain and cold weather
The cold has been here for a large part of the beginning of the year in the UK with expert meteorologists telling the Guardian that this is down to a jet stream dragging the cold down to the UK.
“It has become quite entrenched and is dragging cold air from the Arctic down across the UK, making it cold here particularly at night,” said expert Nick Lee.
Elsewhere across Europe we've seen heatwaves take place across Greece in recent weeks, with heatwaves all around the world currently too especially in the Middle East.
