It issued what it dubbed a #FactCheck to curb some of the over-heated reports of another scorching summer in the UK
The Met Office has issued an official verdict and 'fact check' on rumours of another 40C heatwave this summer.
However, the Met Office had a blunt and brisk response to the reports and issued a 'fact check'. It drew attention to its own forecasts as a reliable source for information and said it's 'not possible' to forecast the highest temperature this summer at this range.In a post on Twitter, it said: "There are a few misleading headlines around about heatwaves at the moment.
And it added: "Temperatures will likely return to average in early May, which tends to be in the teens during the day for most." An expert has previously claimed that extreme heat could hit the UK due to the combination of climate change and El Niño, a weather pattern with warmer-than-average temperatures. In the next week, temperatures in Lancashire are only set to hit highs of 15C today before falling back to highs of 12C by next Thursday and overnight temperatures dipping in some places to 2C.On Tuesday, patchy cloud and sunshine for most with a few showers, wintry in the far northeast and for the Northern Isles.
