June 19th 2024.
It seems like we might finally get a break from the cold weather next week. The British Isles could see a rise in temperatures, bringing some much-needed warmth after a chilly June. According to the Met Office, today's weather will continue to be pleasant with a mix of clouds and cool sea breezes. London can expect temperatures to reach 21°C before dropping to 13°C overnight.
For those of us who have been longing for some sunshine, there's good news. Along with the warmer temperatures, the UV index is also on the rise. Kirsty McCabe, a weather producer for Sky News, predicts that there is a 20% chance of a potential heatwave developing by the middle of next week. While the evenings may still be mild, the days will be sunny across much of England next week, accompanied by warmer temperatures. So, it's time to break out the sun cream!
Oxford experienced some lovely sunny weather yesterday, and the Met Office forecasts that the capital could see temperatures as high as 24°C by Friday. That's almost as hot as popular holiday destinations like Barcelona and only a couple of degrees cooler than Tenerife, Majorca, and Nice in the south of France.
Deputy chief meteorologist for the Met Office, Dan Harris, explains, "It's quite a contrast to the first half of June, where temperatures have been below average. But we can expect a steady increase in temperatures in the second half of the week, reaching or even exceeding the average. And for those in the sunshine, it will likely feel very warm."
Thursday and Friday are expected to be the hottest days, with temperatures potentially reaching 24 or 25°C in the south. However, the northwest may see slightly cooler temperatures due to the influence of clouds and showers. The UK has had its coolest first 10 days of June since 2020, but this time last year, we experienced the hottest June on record with temperatures soaring as high as 32.2°C in Lincolnshire and Surrey.
