Temperatures are expected to reach 32C in the coming days, with the Met Office identifying eight areas that will be hit by scorching weather conditions. The UK is set to surpass its heatwave threshold this weekend, with the heat persisting until June 22. Starting on June 19, temperatures will rise in southern England, reaching 30C initially and climbing to 32C by June 21 in the south and southeast regions.
Meteorologist Jo Farrow mentioned that hot air will move over to southeastern Britain from the English Channel, leading to temperatures in the high 20s and low 30s in areas like East Anglia, London, and the Home Counties. The heatwave threshold temperatures are likely to be exceeded, with a high chance of ‘three consecutive days’ meeting the criteria over the weekend.
The Met Office’s forecast indicates a steady climb in temperatures, with southern England approaching 30C by Friday depending on cloud cover, and becoming very warm across the weekend. Some areas in the south and southeast may meet heatwave criteria by Saturday, with temperatures possibly hitting the low 30s in the warmest spots. Maximum temperatures are projected to be 32C on Friday, 28C on Saturday, 32C on Sunday, and a potential 33C on Monday in the same regions.
