UK Heatwave Warning: The Everyday Household Items That Could Explode in Extreme Temperatures 

Lucy ContrinoBy Lucy Contrino01/07/20252 Mins Read

As the UK braces for a heatwave hotter than parts of Spain this week, fire safety experts from Chorlton Fireworks have revealed the surprising items in your home that could become explosive – or dangerously unstable – when left in hot conditions.

From deodorant cans to forgotten fireworks, many common products become hazardous when exposed to prolonged heat, particularly in cars, sheds, garages, or lofts – all of which can reach over 50°C during a typical UK heatwave.

Top 5 Items That Could Explode or Ignite in a Heatwave:

  1. Aerosol Cans – Hairspray, deodorant, cooking sprays and air fresheners can explode if left in hot cars or direct sunlight.

  2. Batteries – Power banks, e-cigarette batteries, and even toys with lithium batteries can overheat and cause fires.

  3. BBQ Gas Canisters – Often stored incorrectly in garages or sheds, these can explode if pressure builds up in the heat.

  4. Fireworks – Even unused fireworks stored from New Year or Bonfire Night can ignite if kept in high temperatures.

  5. Cleaning Products – Bleach and other chemicals can react dangerously when overheated or mixed by accident.

“People don’t realise they’re sitting on a summer fire risk,” says fire safety spokesperson at Chorlton Fireworks.

“We’re urging households to check where items are stored – especially in places like garages, lofts or car boots. A forgotten firework or a gas canister in direct sun could easily turn a heatwave into a disaster.”

The warning comes as temperatures in the UK are expected to exceed 30°C in parts of the country – higher than Madrid, Lisbon and Athens this week.

Quick Fire Safety Tips During a Heatwave:

  • Store fireworks and gas canisters in cool, dry areas away from sunlight and heat sources

  • Never leave aerosols or batteries in parked cars

  • Dispose of out-of-date or damaged fireworks properly

  • Keep lighters, matches and BBQ equipment out of reach of children

  • Check outdoor storage areas for flammable chemicals or items
