JUST IN: UK heatwave: Hot temperatures set to last WEEKS as chart turns red
Temperature anomaly charts valid on June 15 show much of the UK turn a deep orange as the warm weather strikes.
The colouring compares what the predicted temperature is against what is considered normal.
The red colouring therefore indicates that the hot weather forecast for June 15 is much warmer than the typical seasonal average.
The following day is set to be a little cooler, with highs of 22C forecast along the south east and temperatures averaging 19C elsewhere in England.
Netweather forecasters predict a heatwave to strike from the week commencing June 14.
They said: “Temperatures are expected to be above normal early in the week, when a heatwave and thundery breakdown is possible, but near to slightly below normal late in the week.”
The Met Office’s forecast for the period Monday, June 7 to Wednesday, June 16 is characterized by warm spells and intermittent showers.
They said: “Rather mixed conditions are expected at the start of the period, with a good deal of fine and dry weather around, although outbreaks of rain and isolated showers are still possible, most likely affecting northern and western areas.
“Otherwise, temperatures will trend towards the warmer side of average.
“Into the latter half of the period, more settled and dry conditions are likely overall, though perhaps accompanied by the risk of some showers developing each day and longer spells of rain occurring at times.”
