- Delete per WP:NOTNEWS and no reasonably notable effect. I am not sure if 27.8°C can be called heatwave even by British met standards. I also tried to think about possibility of a merge, there is absolutely nothing to merge. --DBigXray 12:28, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep or Merge with Autumn 2011 United Kingdom heat wave. Such weather so early in the year is rare for the United Kingdom so this is worth recording, but I'm not sure we need two separate heat wave articles. The autumn heatwave could be mentioned in a section at the end of this article. This is Paul (talk) 16:21, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Delete. Everything reads as a standard heat wave rather than a severe one that would meet GNG or NEVENT. Standard non-notable heatwaves still break records occasionally and kill the ill and elderly, but this one looks pretty tame with a little drought mixed in.

- Delete - Fails WP:NEVENT Not sufficiently remarkable to meet notability criteria on the long term timescale of an encyclopedia. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:43, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - I agree with the above comments that this particular heat wave was not significant enough to be of long term notability. Dunarc (talk) 19:10, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
