Met Office meteorologists are forecasting a very warm, occasionally hot and humid, week across Lincolnshire this week with temperatures expected to be at their highest on Wednesday, July 1.

Temperatures are forecast to rise above 30ºC during the middle of the week, but the “heatwave” will only last a day or two, with temperatures dropping slightly by Thursday.

The heat will start to build on Tuesday as a tropical continental airmass from mainland Europe begins to dominate the weather.

Deputy Chief Meteorologist Laura Paterson said: “Both Tuesday and Wednesday nights are expected to be warm and humid temperatures remaining in the high teens in many places, possibly low 20’s Celsius in parts of England.

“The very warm air means there is a risk of us seeing thunderstorms on Wednesday or Thursday but the exact timing and location of those storms, if they happen, is uncertain at the moment.”

Temperatures are expected to dip slightly on Thursday, before rising again from the south later Friday and Saturday. This could again result in thunderstorms breaking out.

It looks like warm and humid spells of weather could continue into next week.

Hot weather advice for vulnerable people

While many people enjoy hot weather, high temperatures can be dangerous, said Dr Paul Cosford, director for health protection at Public Health England (PHE): “Older people and those with long-term illnesses are particularly vulnerable to the effects of very hot weather, so it’s important to look out for them, help them stay hydrated with plenty of cool drinks, and keep indoor areas as cool as possible.

“Try to keep bedroom and living spaces cool, by closing the curtains on windows that receive the sun and open your windows at cooler times of the day and overnight. A trip to a park where there’s lots of shade or a public building that is air conditioned, may help offer some relief from the heat for vulnerable people.”

Hundreds of people have paid tributes to Carly Lovett, 24, a University of Lincoln graduate from Gainsborough, who was killed in the Tunisia attack on Friday.

According to reports, she escaped the gun fire on the beach along with her fiancée, but died when a grenade was thrown into her hotel lobby.

Carly Lovett, a fashion blogger and photographer, was one of at least 15 British victims confirmed dead in the terror attack in the Tunisian resort of Sousse on Friday.

Some 38 people have died in the attack, and it’s believed the British death toll could rise to over 30, according to national reports.

Over the weekend, hundreds of people left tributes and messages of condolences to the family on The Lincolnite’s Facebook page.

Sir Edward Leigh, MP for Gainsborough, said: “It is with shock and sorrow that I have learnt of the death of my constituent Miss Carly Lovett, a resident of Gainsborough, who has been killed in Tunisia by gunmen who have terrorised the resort of Sousse.

“I can only offer my condolences to her family, friends and fiancé. Words will never adequately provide comfort for those who must face a very different future to the one that they imagined. As the local Member of Parliament I will work with colleagues in the government to ensure that those who perpetrated this horrific act are brought to justice.

“I am pleased at the reports that Lincolnshire Police have reacted swiftly to support Miss Lovett’s family and trust that there will be respect the family’s need for privacy at this difficult time.”

West Lindsey District Council also said that a minute’s silence would be held at its next meeting as a mark of respect.
