Night of the Big Heat is a science fiction novel written in 1959 by John Lymington. It tells the story of a British island that is experiencing a bizarre and stifling heatwave. Although the island is unnamed it is described as being close to the mainland, and the town of Yarmouth is mentioned, both of which imply the story is set on the Isle of Wight.
