UK Faces 25C Mini-Heatwave Next Week with Six Counties in England Roasted
A mini-heatwave is set to hit the UK next week, with temperatures soaring to 25C in several counties in England. According to forecasters, the change in conditions will hit England from May 30, bringing with it a welcome respite from the cooler weather that has been experienced in recent days.
The counties set to benefit from the rising temperatures include London, Surrey, Middlesex, Essex, Berkshire, and Hertfordshire. Weather maps and charts have turned yellow, amber, and even crimson red at times, indicating the significant increase in temperature. The forecasts have been projected by Netweather TV, which uses Met Desk data, alongside Ventusky and WX Charts.
This mini-heatwave comes as the weather is on the turn for the Bank Holiday weekend. The UK has had a long run of sunny, warm, and dry weather, but this week is expected to bring a few heavy showers before a westerly change at the weekend. According to Jo Farrow, from Netweather, "The UKV model has a cool northerly breeze off the North Sea with sunshine for much of eastern Britain."
Ms Farrow added, "There will be a few hefty showers from Morecambe Bay down to Suffolk but through the afternoon the focus for most of the shower activity is over southern Britain with fine sunny weather elsewhere." She went on to say, "This northerly flow will bring the UK back to that chilly edge to the air in the shade and after dark but still feeling very warm in the strong May sunshine."
The BBC Weather team has also issued an update on what lies ahead. Initially, it will be mostly dry with above-average temperatures. Later next week, unsettled conditions are likely to emerge. However, it could become drier again later in the forecast period, with warmer conditions developing into meteorological summer.
The mini-heatwave is expected to bring a welcome boost to the UK’s weather, with many areas experiencing warm and sunny conditions. As reported by the Birmingham Mail, the six counties in England that are set to be roasted by the rising temperatures include London, Surrey, Middlesex, Essex, Berkshire, and Hertfordshire.
The forecasters have warned that there is some uncertainty about how many showers will move over eastern Britain or if most will stay offshore. However, with the focus from the northeast, this cooler northern flow will be a feature for eastern Britain on Thursday and Friday, but for many, there will be more dry, fair weather.
