Shall we plan another trip to the beach this week? Just when we thought summer might be coming to an end, the UK is expecting a return of intense heat this week. Temperatures took a dip over the weekend with dark, gloomy skies and rainfall in some parts of the country. Quite a contrast to the scorching 31°C temperatures experienced in some areas on Friday, the hottest day of the year so far.
But before we can even cool off, the warm weather is making its way back, perfectly timed with the start of the school summer holidays. Monday is expected to be similar to the last two days with some rain in the northern regions of England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. However, the southern regions will mostly remain dry. As we move towards Tuesday, temperatures will start to rise, reaching a high of 27°C, which will continue into Wednesday.
The heat will gradually increase on Tuesday, with temperatures reaching at least 24°C. Unfortunately, the blue skies and sunshine may not last long, according to the Met Office. They predict that Thursday will be a wet day before the weather settles down again for the upcoming weekend. Meteorologist Craig Snell says, "It won't be continuous sunshine, and rain is expected in the north on Monday and the rest of the country on Thursday. It won't be as hot as the previous days, but definitely an improvement. Overall, the southeast and south regions will experience the highest temperatures next week."
We can expect highs of at least 25°C on Wednesday, and forecasters believe it could even reach 26-27°C. Last week, thousands of people headed to the beach as a mini heatwave swept across the country. A yellow heat health alert was issued, finally marking the arrival of summer after weeks of miserable weather. The hottest temperature recorded was 31.9°C at St James' Park in central London on Friday, making it the warmest day of the year so far.
Last week, everyone was enjoying the sunshine, and there's more of it on the way. Maybe we'll even get to witness the London hot air balloon regatta, which has been canceled yet again on Sunday. Although we may not reach the same scorching temperatures this week, at least we can enjoy some semblance of summer.
