Britain is to be blasted by a “mini heatwave” as weather maps suggest many areas of the country will be sweltering under a 29C scorcher. Weather maps from WXCharts show that hot weather conditions will hit the country on June 12, and the southern areas will be the most impacted.
However, the maps show that a total of 28 cities will be spared from witnessing the extreme hot conditions. The temperature levels are likely to stay about 20C across the country on June 12, but the highs of 29C will not be experienced in every city, the maps have suggested. The warmer conditions after the Met Office revealed that the country has witnessed the “sunniest” spring on record this year.
Cities such as Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds, Edinburgh, Dundee, and Inverness are among the areas that will not be hammered by the “mini heatwave”.
The Met Office’s long-range forecast between June 4 and 13 reads: “A changeable spell of weather is expected at the beginning of this period as areas of low pressure move in from the Atlantic across the UK.
“These will bring showers or longer spells of rain to most areas, heavy at times and perhaps accompanied by strong winds along some coasts, though drier interludes are likely too.
“Over the weekend and towards the middle of June, high pressure will probably begin to become more dominant in the south, at least for brief periods, whereas the north is more likely to remain more unsettled with further episodes of rain or showers and strong winds. Temperatures are likely to be close to or slightly below normal at first, perhaps rising above average later, with a chance of a few hot days.”
