European 'death zone' heatwave to hit UK – but one-minute trick could keep you cool
The UK is bracing for a sizzling heatwave as the "European oven" threatens to push temperatures to a scorching 34C in the coming days.
A weather expert has sounded the alarm that Tropical Storm Debby, which claimed six lives in the US and unleashed severe flooding, could usher in Britain's hottest day of the year so far. Predictions indicate that areas like East Anglia and Cambridge might experience highs of up to 34C on Sunday, August 11.
Debby's influence on the jet stream's configuration and Atlantic pressure levels is expected to significantly affect the UK's temperature and weather patterns, specialists assert.
This heat onslaught coincides with Europe's battle against what's termed the "death zone" – a period when temperatures soar above 35C – with Madrid potentially facing a blistering 40C. The European heatwave is anticipated to send a "Spanish plume" towards the UK, raising the chances of experiencing the "hottest day of the year".

Scorching temperatures are expected to arrive in the UK this weekend and beyond, as Storm Debby's alter is set to create a mini-heatwave.
Tropical Storm Debby is expected to trigger a mini-heatwave this weekend, with temperatures above 30C expected in parts of the UK and Monday the 12th of August set to be the hottest day of the year so far.
Weather maps have suggested areas of southeast England could see sizzling heat starting from Saturday the 10th onwards, as August continues to hot up. This comes as the Met Office 14 day weather forecast suggests a potential heatwave may on its way, with 'very warm conditions' predicted later this month.
The weather in August is a stark contrast to the thundery and cold weather Brits experienced earlier this summer, and while a European heatwave continues to rage on the continent, the USA has seen Storm Debby hit the country, bringing torrential downpour and flooding to multiple cities.
While Storm Debby won't make its way to our shores, we can expect our temperatures to be affected by this massive weath
‘Significant’ impacts from Tropical Storm Debby in United States – will it influence UK weather?
Debby will slowly drift north through the remainder this week, drawing in moist air from the Atlantic. Having already dropped up to 400mm rain over parts of Florida, it will produce incredibly high rainfall amounts for parts of Georgia and North and South Carolina.
Julian Heming is a tropical cyclone expert at the Met Office and has been tracking Debby’s progress. He said: “Tropical Storm Debby is likely to bring significant impacts to eastern parts of the United States. Moist air from the subtropical Atlantic is being drawn northwards by the storm and current forecasts suggest 200-400mm of rain will fall quite widely in the area, with parts of the Carolinas possibly seeing as much as 600mm of rain in the coming 3-5 days.
“Average annual rainfall at Charleston, South Carolina is around 1200-1300mm, so this means this region could see six months’ worth of rain fall within a few days.
“While confidence in the track of Debby decreases later in the week, the remnants of the storm are most likely to continue northwards on the eastern side of the United States, bringing a chance of con

It could bring as much as 600mm (23in) of rain - around half the yearly average - to the Carolinas.
However, later in the week, it will gradually weaken and start to break up.
But even as it does, it will play a role in influencing UK weather, possibly helping to send temperatures spiking to the hottest they have been this year.

Its system and remnants could act as a background influence, impacting the strength and shape of the jet stream and in turn our weather forecasts.
Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Nick Silkstone said: "Debby in North America will help to strengthen and veer the direction of the jet stream and this means this ribbon of air is likely to shift further to the south.
"This southwards dip in the jet stream will likely be located across the mid-Atlantic this weekend and
