Recent weather maps indicate that the UK will experience sunny weather for a brief period. Temperatures are forecasted to increase to a high of 28C by Friday due to a high-pressure system moving in from the west. However, the Met Office warns of possible thunderstorms at the end of the week, especially in parts of East England.
On Sunday, the mercury hovered around 11.6C in the Shetland Islands and 14.8C in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Monday brought drizzly conditions to Southern England, with more rain expected, particularly in the Southwest of England, as per meteorological forecasts.
Looking ahead to Friday, the Met Office weather map depicts warmer and drier conditions across the UK. Despite the potential thunderstorms on Friday night and Saturday, the East and Southeast of England are anticipated to be the hottest regions, with temperatures reaching 28C and 27C respectively.
Meteorologist Honor Criswick from the Met Office mentioned that temperatures will gradually rise, particularly in the Southeast of England, as high pressure builds up. This may lead to very warm or even hot weather towards the end of the week, possibly triggering thunderstorms.
Although no storm warnings have been issued by the Met Office, rain is expected to disrupt the warmer spell, with showers possible in parts of south Wales and the Southwest of England over the weekend. Even in northern England, temperatures are expected to reach 20C on Friday, with Lincolnshire and Humberside among the warmest areas.
Following the unsettled weekend weather, warmer conditions are likely to prevail for the remainder of June. The Met Office’s long-term forecast for June 20 to June 29 suggests the potential for very warm and humid conditions in southern and southeastern Britain, with a chance of thunderstorms. The forecast indicates generally drier and settled weather with above-average temperatures, although brief wet and windy spells may still occur.
