The final weekend may see temperatures as high as 27C as the UK enjoys the sunniest April on record. According to preliminary data from the Met Office, 630 hours of sunshine were recorded nationwide between March 1 and May 27, signalling a warm conclusion to spring. However, as the first week of summer approaches, experts have cautioned that the weather could change, with wind and rain possible.
According to the most recent weather maps, Saturday, June 14, may be among the hottest days of the year thus far. The weather is predicted to warm up over the next few days, with a mini-heatwave predicted for the middle of June.
For a large portion of England, a scorching summer heat wave is imminent. As per the weather maps, Saturday, June 14, could be one of the hottest days of the year, with temperatures predicted to soar to 29 degrees Celsius in a number of locations.
A broad heatwave is expected to affect sections of the South West, the Midlands, and the South East, according to WXCharts.
In addition, Netweather is predicting scorching temperatures, with highs of up to 31 degree Celsius and 30 degree Celsius possible in London and up to 29 degree Celsius in Suxxex and Kent in the middle of the afternoon.
As we move into the second half of June, the Met Office’s long-range forecast for June 12-26 suggests temperatures that are above average, stating: “Changeable weather across the UK with a mixture of Atlantic weather systems moving in from the west, interspersed with dry and sunny periods.”
It continues, “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.”
Alex Burkill, a meteorologist with the Met Office, stated: “highs of around 24C, 25C, may be 26C or 27C” were expected towards the South East, and “even further north, a greater chance of getting into the low 20s”.
“But we do need to factory in the brisk winds and the wetter weather that will be pushing through at times as well.”
Parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Northern and Western England, and Wales are predicted to see showers of rain on Sunday. The southern and western regions are more likely to see dry weather, with some regions remaining entirely dry.
Temperatures in several locations will be several degrees lower on Sunday due to “some fresher air pushing its way in and maybe a bit less sunshine on offer for some of us,” according to Mr. Burkill.
Monday is probably going to be the driest day of the week during the first full week of meteorological summer.
