It's July and it's hot. But aren’t we meant to have hot weather in the summer? Well, it's not that simple. A heat-health alert has been issued for parts of the UK with temperatures next week predicted to hit 30 degrees Celsius - higher than Los Angeles, Marbella and Santorini. What’s more, heatwaves - just like this one - are becoming more extreme because of human-induced climate change. So what is a heatwave? Are we seeing more of them? And if so why? For 5 Minutes on BBC Weather Presenter Nick Miller explains everything you need to know about heatwaves. Image credit: Nora Carol - via Getty images
