An intense heatwave is forecasted to hit the UK once again, based on the latest weather maps. The upcoming heat blast is expected to bring scorching temperatures exceeding 30C, with some areas potentially reaching 40C by the end of the month. The heatwave is anticipated to sweep across the country from the south coast to the Midlands and further north into Yorkshire and northern Wales.
According to WXCharts, the heat is predicted to return by July 25, with temperatures soaring as high as 35C in southern and south-eastern England. Cities like Peterborough, Northampton, and Birmingham could experience temperatures above 30C, with Birmingham possibly reaching 34C.
The heatwave is projected to extend northward, with areas in Lancashire and Yorkshire becoming the hottest regions. Cities like Leeds, Bradford, Preston, and Huddersfield are expected to hover around 30C, while York, Harrogate, and the Yorkshire Dales might see highs ranging from 26C to 29C.
The heatwave is set to impact the entire country, with even Scotland experiencing relatively warm temperatures of 19C in Aberdeen. The Met Office’s long-range forecast for the end of July suggests above-average temperatures, with a possibility of rain in some regions that could alleviate the heatwave. Conditions are expected to become more changeable with showers and rain in northern areas, while southern regions may enjoy drier weather with occasional sunshine.
