Original Note:
A heatwave is defined by the Met Office as "an extended period of hot weather relative to the expected conditions of the area at that time of year". As the average maximum for June in the UK is 19°C/66°F, an increase of 6°C meets the threshold criteria for heatwave conditions. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/learn-about/weather/types-of-weather/temperature/heatwave
