The UK is set to soar to 38 degrees in a couple of weeks when another mini heatwave will sizzle the UK. The hottest temperatures will be felt around London on Monday, June 30, and the rest of Britain won’t be far behind, according to weather maps by WXCharts.
It won’t be an official heatwave as, according to the Met Office, the threshold is met when a location goes at least three consecutive days with daily maximum temperatures meeting or exceeding the heatwave temperature threshold. But 45 counties will miss out on 30C heat as the rest of the UK soars to highs of 38C, which will be felt in London, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire, and Worcestershire. The extremities of the southwest coast in England will dip below 30C in Cornwall and Devon, where it will fall as low as 24C.
In northern England, temperatures may dip below 30C in the very northwest of Cumbria on the border with Scotland, to around 29C.
Northern Ireland will be the coldest, with temperatures dipping to around 23C, and as low as 20C. All of Scotland has been forecast temperatures below 30C, with Edinburgh set to enjoy a sunny 28C, and Aberdeen forecast 27C.
Parts of Wales will also be boiling on June 30, with temperatures forecast to reach between 31C and 36C in North Wales, and around 30C in Cardiff.
However, in southwest Wales, it will drop to around 28C, meaning that Camaerthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire, and Swansea West and Gower will miss out on the 30C heatwave.
In Manchester it will soar to around 36C, and as you move to the coast, it drops to around 31C in Liverpool. Lancashire and East Yorkshire will also sit at around 31C, while in Newcastle, it could drop to 30C.
According to the Met Office long-range forecast for June 23 to July 2, longer drier spells are more likely to the south and east, under the influence of higher pressure.
It said: “Here, there is the chance of occasional very warm or hot spells, as south or southwesterly winds allow brief bursts of hotter air to encroach from the continent, but perhaps also accompanied by a few thunderstorms at times.”
