Latest weather maps show 34C heat is headed to the UK, but some areas will miss out. After June began with warm weather, July is set to start in the same way with scorching temperatures set to hit some areas.
Across two days, from July 6 to July 8, Brits will see temperatures rise. Maps from WXCHARTS show a sizzling 48-hour heat blast as maps turn red and sweltering weather makes its way back to the UK. On Monday July 7, at 6pm, the warm weather will only be seen in the south and midlands with Wales and large parts of northern England to miss out.
Scotland will also not see the warmer temperatures with the maximum temperature to be 24C in the country.
On Tuesday July 8 at 6pm, maps show blazing temperatures of up to 34C. The hottest weather will be felt in the south with temperatures in the 30s across London, the south coast and up into the midlands.
Sussex, Surrey, London, Luton, Birmingham, Oxford, Swindon, Gloucester, Worcester, Coventry and Nottingham will all see high temperatures while many other places will not.
On Tuesday, areas to miss out include Wales which will see cooler temperatures of around 20C. Also missing out will be the Lake District, Norwich, Chester, Stoke and Penzance.
By Midnight, many more places will see cooler temperatures. Maps show only London, the midlands and parts of the south west will see temperatures of above 30C with most counties missing out on the heat.
A Met Office forecast says: “A low pressure system runs near or across the northwest of the UK at the start of the period bringing some wetter, windier conditions to the northwest.
“Elsewhere a good deal of dry and very warm or hot weather at first, but it is possible the odd thunderstorm could develop in response to the heat before it turns cooler and fresher from the west by the middle of next week.
“Beyond this, conditions look like being rather changeable, with some drier spells but also some spells of rain and wind.
“There is also the chance of further very warm or locally hot and humid weather, as brief bursts of hotter air encroach from the continent, but probably fairly short-lived. Should these occur they bring with them the threat of thunderstorms.”
