Temperatures in the United Kingdom are set to soar to 32C in the coming days, according to advanced weather forecasting models.
After experiencing a scorching heatwave in May, where temperatures peaked above 35C – the highest ever recorded in May – the mercury has returned to normal levels this week. The country also faced thunderstorms and heavy rainfall during this time.
The ECMWF weather model indicates that temperatures will begin to rise again starting from June 15, with potential highs of 29C in the south-east and 28C in the north-west. Scotland may see highs of 24C.
On June 16, there could be another surge in temperatures, with 32C expected in the south-east of England. In the north of England, temperatures of 29C-30C are possible, while the east of England and South Yorkshire may reach 31C.
Maps showing temperature anomalies for June 16 highlight areas of deep red across England, Wales, and southern Scotland, indicating temperatures significantly above the seasonal average.
According to the ECMWF model data, approximately 21 counties in England could see temperatures soar to 30C or higher during this period.
Official heatwaves in the UK are declared when temperatures reach a specific threshold for three consecutive days. The latest ECMWF model data does not suggest the likelihood of another official heatwave at this point.
The Met Office’s forecast for June 7 to 16 suggests that high pressure and more settled conditions will prevail, especially in southern regions. Looking ahead to the rest of June, temperatures are expected to be above normal, with the potential for hot weather in southern areas and the possibility of heavy showers and thunderstorms.
