The U.K is set to BAKE this week in what could prove to be record setting high temperatures for June.
Hot air that is currently coming over from Europe will bring the UK temperatures that could hit 35C in London on Saturday. This will be close to the June record of 35.6C set in Southampton back in 1978.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Dan Suri, said: “It’s going to get hot and humid for some from Wednesday, with the highest temperatures expected across southern and western parts of the UK. Not everywhere will see the high temperatures, however, as an easterly breeze will keep North Sea coasts much cooler.
“By the time we get to Saturday, however, North Sea coasts will join much of the rest of eastern UK in seeing temperatures of 27 to 32 Celsius.”
However, Met Office spokeswoman Nicola Maxey said the UK would “not be as hot as Europe, but it will still be warm. By Saturday, we could be looking at 30C in the South, with London looking at 30C but with isolated spots of 33C, 34C or 35C, maybe.”
The heatwave will arrive following thunderstorms and flooding for some parts of the country. It’s going to be a hot one folks!
