Motorists are being warned to remove three items from their vehicles as the UK braces for a heatwave. With temperatures expected to soar to 30C in June, drivers are being advised to take

precautions to prevent damage to their cars.

Aerosol cans are among the items that should be removed, as they can explode when exposed to high temperatures.

The pressure build-up could cause them to burst, potentially causing interior damage. It's generally recommended that aerosols are not left in unattended vehicles at any time of year.

Electronic devices should also be removed to avoid costly replacements. These gadgets could suffer permanent battery damage if exposed to hot weather, and in some cases, could even

short-circuit.

This could lead to sparking and even the possibility of a fire starting inside the car. Bottled water is another item to remove, reports Birmingham Live.

Recent studies have shown that plastic water bottles could leach BPA, microplastics, and other dangerous chemicals into the water when they become heated up.

BigWantsYourCar commented: "Many drivers are surprised to learn that something as simple as a can of cola or a damp towel can lead to significant damage.

"It's especially common during heatwaves when people leave items in the car after a day at the beach, gym or park."

The Met Office's early outlook for June suggests a mixed bag of weather for the UK, with Atlantic systems bringing changeable conditions interspersed with dry and sunny spells.

"Changeable weather across the UK with a mixture of Atlantic weather systems moving in from the west interspersed with dry and sunny periods. The wettest conditions are likely to be in the

northwest, with the driest weather in the south and southeast.

"Temperatures are most likely to be near or slightly above normal, perhaps with some hot spells at times, especially across the south."
