June 12th 2024.
As many Brits wake up this morning, they will finally be greeted by some much-needed sunshine. However, the chilly temperatures will still require them to keep their coats on for the time being. While most of the UK can expect a bright and pleasant day, those in the eastern part of England should be prepared for scattered showers. It seems that temperatures will remain below average for the month of June, with London only reaching a high of 15°C compared to the usual 20°C that we are used to.
It's no surprise that many of us have been complaining about the cold this month. Despite May being the hottest on record, the weather has taken a turn for the worse. The culprit? A shift in the jet stream, which is currently further south than usual and bringing winds from the northwest. In the northern parts of England and Scotland, temperatures will be even lower, with highs of only 12°C in Newcastle and 11°C in Aberdeen. To make matters worse, strong winds, hail, and thunder have been making their way across the country this week, especially in the South East.
As we continue through this not-so-summery month, there may be some brief periods of nicer weather, but the overall pattern will remain "cool" and "showery". The rain seems to be relentless, with even commuters struggling to find shelter from the downpours. And unfortunately, the long-range forecast from the Met Office has revealed that the weather signals are too weak to make reliable predictions for the rest of the month. They did mention, however, that all areas of the country can expect some drier and sunnier spells, but there will also be showers and longer periods of rain at times. Temperatures are expected to stay close to normal or slightly above average.
Moving into July, there is some good news. Temperatures are set to rise and all areas of the UK can look forward to some drier and sunnier weather. However, there will still be some longer spells of rain, ensuring that July will also see a mix of weather types. Make sure to visit The Agency's London news hub for the latest updates on the capital's weather. The Met Office's long-range forecast for the rest of the month is predicting slightly below average temperatures, with a mix of weather types that are typical for the UK. So while we may not be experiencing a heatwave just yet, there is still some hope for warmer and sunnier days ahead.
