The UK could hit 28C this weekend - is another heatwave on the way?

Summary

The UK is expected to experience warmer weather by the weekend, with temperatures possibly reaching up to 28°C (82.4°F) in southeast England. However, rainy and cooler conditions will continue midweek before the warmer spell arrives, and it is not yet certain if the warmth will last long enough to count as an official heatwave.

Key Facts

  • After a cool and wet start to June, the UK will see drier and sunnier weather later this week.
  • Temperatures in England and Wales could rise to the mid-to-high 20 degrees Celsius range (77–84°F).
  • Scotland and Northern Ireland may reach low 20s Celsius (68–77°F), with cooler, cloudier weather in northern areas.
  • Heavy rain and thunderstorms are expected on Wednesday and Thursday across many parts of the UK.
  • The warm weather will likely begin over the weekend as high pressure builds from the south.
  • An official heatwave in the UK requires temperatures above 25-28°C for three days in a row, which is still uncertain.
  • Different weather models disagree on whether the warm, stable high pressure will stay or be replaced by cooler Atlantic air.
  • The warmer-than-average weather is forecast to continue into next week if the high pressure remains.
