From now on, it'll have to get even hotter for a heatwave to be declared in Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire.
The Met Office is raising the threshold for the county by 1 degree, to 28 Celsius.
Five other counties have also seen their threshold rise - Cambridgeshire, Surrey and Berkshire must also see 28C, while it'll be 27C for Lincolnshire and 26C for East Yorkshire.
A heatwave's formally declared after three days of a certain temperature in an area.
