"One marquee signing is certainly possible, especially with some players out of contract, but the chances of a series of big names is less likely," added Maguire.
It could also cause harmful algae to grow out of control, creating wide patches of green algae that can poison other life."We will be watching closely to monitor the impacts of the current UK heatwave on marine life and fisheries," John Pinnegar, Lead Advisor on Climate Change at the UK Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science.
Previous heatwaves have caused harmful blooms of algae and in 2018 caused mass mortality among mussels.In 2023, jellyfish sightings increased by 32% following a marine heatwave with temperatures 3-4C above average.The heat could also encourage different fish to move into UK waters, including the bluefin tuna, potentially increasing the amount of fish to catch.
Normally marine heatwaves last around two weeks, so scientists are surprised at how long this one is persisting."It is exceptional. We are about two and half months in, which is very long," says Dr Berthou.
Higher sea temperatures can push up land temperatures too, as sea breezes carry the heat off the ocean.
That happened in May 2024 when a short marine heatwave contributed "significantly" to above-average land temperatures, according to the Met Office.Gwen Buchan, 62, who has terminal breast cancer, said capivasertib would allow her to see her son's wedding and gave her "hope".
Half of women with breast cancer fuelled by the hormone oestrogen are likely to see their life expectancy double when capivasertib is combined with hormone therapy, research has shown.Prof Rob Jones, who co-led a study looking at capivasertib's effectiveness, said the drug offered "a real life impact for people to spend extra time with their relatives, with their friends".
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK, with one in seven women affected in their lifetimes and 75% surviving for 10 years or more after diagnosis.In Wales, more than 2,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer every year.
