Weather maps show that the UK is set for scorching conditions ahead where temperatures could be 30C or above for five days and reach 34C as hot air sweeps in from the continent
Brits are set for more blistering temperatures ahead with weather charts showing the mercury is set to stay above 30C for at least five days.
It has been a hot June so far for many parts of the UK and the warmest day of the year was recorded last Saturday where it reached 33.2C in Charlwood, near Gatwick, which beat the previous 2025 record set earlier in the week. And while we have sound the temperatures dip over the last few days as rain has swept in, there are more scorching conditions on the horizon. Maps from WXCharts have turned dark red during five days at the end of this month and into July where the country goes through another spell of sweltering weather and we may hit 34C.
Temperatures of at least 30C are currently expected between June 29 and July 1, and then July 6 and 7. The areas getting the hottest weather between June 29 and July 1 include London, Birmingham, Leeds, Southampton, Manchester, Oxford, Stoke and Cambridge.
Then for July 6 and 7 there will be more of a north-south divide with the highest temperatures in the southeast, while although it will also be warm in cities including Manchester and Leeds, further north and into Scotland it will be a lot cooler.
List of dates when the temperature are 30C or higher:
June 29: Luton – 31C
June 30: Birmingham – 32C
July 1: Worcester, Liverpool – 34C
July 6: Norwich – 31C
July 7: Southampton – 31C
The Met Office forecast for June 29 to July 8 tells of the possibility of hotter air coming into the UK from the continent. It states: “A low pressure system passes to the northwest of the UK early in the period bringing wetter windier conditions to the northwest. Drier in the southeast at first before the wetter conditions move through the early part of the week.
“From there further low pressure systems are likely to the northwest of the UK at times, bringing wet and windy conditions to the northwest. Whilst some rain or showers are possible across the south and east, longer drier spells are more likely, under the influence of higher pressure.
“There is also the chance of some occasional very warm, perhaps locally hot weather, as brief bursts of hotter air encroach from the continent, but probably fairly short-lived and perhaps also accompanied by a few thunderstorms at times.”
And this week the temperatures are set to rise as we go through the week. The Met Office’s outlook from Thursday to Saturday reads: “Changeable with spells of rain interspersed with sunny spells and scattered showers. Temperatures around normal at first, but turning very warm in the south and east over the weekend. Breezy.”
