Britain braces for hottest June day on record
The Met Office says wet bulb temperature will help assess humidity and heat stress as Britain faces a possible record June high.
- The Met Office issued an extreme heat warning for parts of England and Wales on Monday and Tuesday, urging the public to stay #WeatherAware as temperatures reach dangerous levels.
- Wet bulb readings serve as a fundamental tool for meteorologists assessing humidity and heat stress, measuring the lowest temperature achievable through evaporative cooling in the air.
- When the dew point or wet bulb equals air temperature, relative humidity reaches 100 per cent, preventing evaporative cooling and significantly increasing heat-related illness risks for people and animals.
- Modern weather stations now deploy capacitive sensors detecting voltage changes from water vapour, replacing traditional paired thermometers and delivering automated, more precise humidity measurements.
- By monitoring wet bulb conditions, the Met Office continues delivering accurate forecasts supporting public safety in areas like Bradford as residents face warmer conditions ahead.
