Make sure to lather on some sun cream today, as the UV rays will be quite strong. After a gloomy day yesterday, London is now making way for some much-needed sunshine and warmer temperatures. Although there might be a few scattered rain showers throughout the city, for the most part, we'll be basking in the glorious sun.
With a high of 26°C and a high UV index, it's important to protect your skin before stepping out into this beautiful weather. Other areas in the UK will also experience similar temperatures, although slightly cooler. The lovely seaside town of Brighton will reach a high of 20°C, while Manchester will enjoy a warm 24°C. Even further up north in Edinburgh, residents can expect temperatures up to 22°C.
According to the Met Office, Western areas of the UK may experience some cloudy skies and light drizzles, while the rest of the country will remain dry. However, a new weather front is expected to move in on Thursday, bringing rain to most parts of the UK. This rain will start in the west and gradually spread eastwards throughout the day, with temperatures reaching up to 23°C.
For those looking to take advantage of the sunny weather, heading to the coast for a swim or paddle would be a perfect idea. Friday will most likely bring similar weather, with lighter rain showers in some areas outside of Wales. Met Office meteorologist Craig Snell assures us that the weather will settle down as we head into the weekend and the following week. He says, "It won't be constant sunshine, and there may be some rain in the north on Monday and the rest of the country on Thursday. But overall, the southeast and south will experience the warmest temperatures next week."
Last week, the UK experienced the hottest day of the year so far with temperatures reaching 31°C in London. Moving on to some other news, it has been reported that 13 beloved pubs in London are at risk of closing down as their owner has gone into administration. Also, a map has been released showing the hottest places in the UK during the current heatwave. In more unfortunate news, a 9-year-old girl was shot in the head during a drive-by shooting in East London and may never speak again.

As for the weather, there will be showers moving in on Thursday, but things will clear up again by Friday. So far this summer, the UK has experienced quite a bit of unstable weather, with low pressure systems bringing in heavy winds, clouds, rain, and even thunderstorms. Meanwhile, the rest of Europe is facing a scorching heatwave, with temperatures as high as 44°C in some parts of the continent. This has resulted in devastating wildfires in countries like Greece, Portugal, Bulgaria, and now Spain.
Tourists and residents have been advised to stay indoors to escape the extreme heat in Turkey, Greece, and Italy. And for British families traveling to Spain, Portugal, or Morocco this week, it's important to prepare for a heatwave with temperatures reaching up to 46°C. The Spanish health ministry has issued alerts for most parts of the country, urging people to protect themselves, stay hydrated, and take care of the more vulnerable individuals in their communities.
