It’s time to get the suncream back out – temperatures could soar to 30C next week with a spell of warmer weather
Temperatures could soar to 27C next week in the capital as a heatwave approaches. The Met Office said high pressure building across the country will bring warm and humid conditions, with temperatures climbing above the seasonal average and reaching the high-20s or possibly 30C by Friday.
Temperatures could soar to 30C next week with a spell of warmer weather set to hit the UK, forecasters say. The Met Office said high pressure building across the country will bring warm and humid conditions, with temperatures climbing above the seasonal average and reaching the high-20s or possibly 30C by Friday.
It means parts of the country could be warmer than Los Angeles by the end of next week. There were highs of 22.4C in Kent on Saturday, while London’s Kew Gardens reached 21.3C.
Forecasters say the heat will increase from the middle of the week as warmer air from Europe moves into the UK. On Wednesday, temperatures in south-east England could reach around 27C, with another surge of warmth expected on Thursday and Friday and into next weekend.
While cloud cover could affect the highest temperatures, forecasters say there is a chance of 30C being recorded by the end of the week.
Met Office forecaster Kathryn Chalk said: “We’re definitely seeing a warming trend from midweek onwards.” She added: “Relatively warm and humid nights are also on the cards- not as expected as what we had a few weeks ago, because it won’t be wall-to-wall sunshine like that, we had a stronger signal for that compared to this, but nevertheless it is going to be turning warmer.”
