Brits are only just recovering from the hottest day of the year which left them sweltering and now temperatures are going to soar to a boiling 33C in under a week’s time. WXCHARTS weather maps of the UK have turned a scorching red for 11 UK cities on Monday, June 30, indicating that blistering temperatures are on their way.

Separately, the Met Office’s weather outlook for this period states that “whilst some rain or showers will be possible across the south and east, here longer drier spells are more likely, under the influence of higher pressure”.
There is also the chance of “some occasional very warm, perhaps locally hot weather, as south or southwesterly winds allow brief bursts of hotter air to encroach from the continent, but probably fairly short-lived and perhaps also accompanied by a few thunderstorms at times”.
