UK TOLD 'EXACT DATE' JULY HEATWAVE WILL HIT AS WARM WEATHER RETURNS

UK weather maps have burned bright orange as the country basks in rising temperatures and a heatwave in July. After the hottest day of the year was recorded towards the final stages of June, with 30C breached last Wednesday, temperatures look set to rise again.

“There are some tentative hints of pressure rising from the south-west during this week, most likely towards the end of the week,” NetWeather says. They expect it to be “warmer overall” than in the week beforehand as we head deeper into the seventh month of the year.

Netweather went on: “It does not look likely that it will generally be substantially warmer than average, although the odd hot day or two is possible towards the south-east.” NetWeather wrote: “Temperatures during this week are expected to be slightly above average overall, perhaps over 1°C above in parts of the south-east, but western counties of Britain are expected to have near-average temperatures.

"It will probably be drier than average in the south and east of England, but with near-average rainfall most likely elsewhere. It will probably again be cloudier than average for most of the country.” The BBC Weather outlook warns "subdued" temperatures are likely throughout July.

It warned: "Much of the UK may therefore experience subdued temperatures, particularly in the north and north-west. Showery rain combined with brisk winds are likely to be the predominant pattern. If the high pressure moves closer to the UK, there is a chance of drier, calmer and slightly warmer conditions.

"Usually when a weather pattern changes, the forecast conditions will be maintained for the time being, as is likely to be the case in the fourth week of July." It added: "Nevertheless, confidence is increasingly low and there is some chance of high pressure extending from the Azores High to parts of the UK, which would allow a breakthrough to more settled and warmer conditions.

"That would be in line with the latest seasonal forecast for late July and August."
