UK weather: Temperatures forecast to exceed 30C as another heatwave is imminent

Temperatures in the south of England will continue to gradually rise over the weekend due to high pressure from the Azores.

The weather will get warmer from Monday, with temperatures expected to peak in the second half of the week across England and Wales.

Some areas are likely to meet official heatwave criteria.

The highest temperatures will be concentrated in southern and eastern England, where values ​​​​could greatly exceed 30C.

Mid to high 20s are possible in north-east England and east Scotland.

Areas on the west coast of the UK, such as Lancashire, the Lake District, western Scotland and Northern Ireland, will be exposed to the Atlantic breeze, which will act as a natural air conditioner limiting temperatures to the mid-20s.

Many forecast models currently indicate that the warm weather could continue into mid-July.

Although there are some uncertainties, it seems unlikely that we will exceed the record temperatures recorded in June.
