July 8th 2024.
After what seemed like an endless wait, it appears that summer may have finally arrived. We've endured a brutal stretch of thunderstorms and even some unexpected snow in certain parts of the country. But now, the warm weather is on its way.
For the South East of England, this has been one of the coldest Junes in over ten years. In fact, it's been the chilliest since 2015 for the entire UK. Our weekends have been plagued with constant rain, and flood warnings are still in effect for some areas of Scotland. Even the die-hard fans at Wimbledon have had to brave the downpour to catch this year's tournament in West London.
However, there is some good news on the horizon. As we near the end of the school year, the showers are expected to clear up and temperatures are predicted to rise starting on July 9. We can expect to see the mercury climb from the mid-20s, all the way up to the low 30s by the end of the month.
According to Exacta Weather on Facebook, we may even experience a "heat dome scenario" as warm air from the Azores and Africa make their way to us. This could potentially push the temperatures up into the high thirties by the time August rolls around. They also mentioned that temperatures could reach even higher, especially in the southern regions, if the current trend continues.
The forecasters are predicting another heatwave for the UK this year. However, the Met Office has been more cautious with their predictions. Looking ahead to July 15 to July 29, they have stated that we can expect some unsettled and cloudy days mixed with periods of dry and pleasant weather. The western regions are likely to experience the most rainfall, while the eastern areas may see more sunshine.
As we've seen in the past week, the weather in the UK can be quite unpredictable. But there is hope for a more settled period by the middle of the month. We may still see some rain showers, but overall, the weather is expected to be drier. Temperatures will start off near average, but there is a chance for warmer than usual conditions as we approach the end of the period.
