The result was delete. Normally, WP:ATD and WP:CHEAP would argue for the redirect, but this seems like an unlikely search term, so I'll pass on that. If somebody else wants to create the redirect, no prejudice against them doing so on their own. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:28, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep: The apparent reason for delete nom in the first comment is that the page mentions only normal weather and some advice for Ascot - are you reading the wrong page? In fact, the 2017 United Kingdom heat wave page mentions a "decades high" temperature of over 90F. I guess if you're from Phoenix that's chilly, but the UK averages about 40F, so it's remarkable. It also mentions how the heatwave was the first in June since 1995, which also seems notable. And it has an incidents section which discusses various deaths from the heatwave and a road melting, which are definitely things to make noise about. It seems like a ridiculous nom for deletion, just trying to get in line with other heatwave pages Kingsif (talk) 14:23, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment: On a separate note, there does seem to be too much weather reporting on the page. It could be condensed or removed, it's not the news. Kingsif (talk) 14:30, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. It broke a record and caused some air quality warnings. A pretty standard heat wave and delete at that. A severe heat wave needs more on the effect side of things that should easily distinguish itself form standard weather reporting on a normal heat wave. Kingofaces43 (talk) 20:34, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - As a heatwave in the United Kingdom it was unremarkable on an encyclopedic scale. In my opinion, the drought was more remarkable, with a seemingly endless procession of hot, cloudless days, quite unlike our usual changeable weather. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:13, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Strong Redirect to List of heat waves. Absolutely no reason to keep a standard heat wave as a separate article when it can be summed up in a few sentences. Maybe one or two more facts should be added to the redirected section, but regardless, this should be deleted. Redditaddict69 (talk) (cont)   04:15, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
