In order to be classed as an official heatwave, the temperature must exceed a certain threshold for three consecutive days.
But this threshold varies across different parts of the United Kingdom, ranging from 25C to 28C depending on where you are.
The hot weather is set to arrive on Friday, July 11, and last until Tuesday, July 15, according to WX Charts.
Dozens of counties around the Midlands, South and South East, and East of England could meet the heatwave threshold in that time - including Birmingham and the West Midlands.
However temperature maps from WX Charts reveal that nine counties could miss out during this period, which are: Cornwall, Devon, Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Cumbria, Durham, Northumberland and Tyne & Wear.
The heatwave threshold is 25C for the South West of England, Northern England, most of Wales and Northern Ireland.
While it increases to 27C in some parts of the South East and goes up to 28C in other parts of that region including London.
In its long-range weather report from July 7 to July 16, the Met Office said: "Likely a fairly cool and showery start to the new week. Showers will tend to focus on northern and eastern areas of the UK, while parts of the south and west again become largely dry.
"Through the rest of the week any rain will tend to focus on the north or northwest of the country, with the south becoming predominantly dry.
" Temperatures are likely to remain close to, perhaps a little below average initially.
"However toward the following weekend there are signs that temperatures will begin to trend up, becoming warm or very warm once again, especially across southern parts of the UK, but perhaps more widely as we head toward the middle of July."

Clouds Are Cool, but Have You Ever Seen One Like This?
The dramatic mass moving ashore one afternoon in Portugal this week looked like something out of a movie: dozens of people who had gathered at a beach to escape an oppressive heat wave stared up at the sky as it inched toward them. Was an alien ship about to emerge? Should someone call Jeff Goldblum? But it was a cloud that stopped people in their track — a 'roll cloud,' to be specific, which more typically form from thunderstorms. In this case, the cloud formed at the intersection of the ocean and the land as a cool, moist air mass moving over the Atlantic Ocean collided with dry, hot air over southwestern Portugal, which, like much of Europe, has been sweltering in a weeklong heat wave. The roll cloud is created by a wave in the atmosphere that causes a rising and sinking motion over adjacent areas, allowing the clouds to form and appear to roll forward. You can see that below in an aerial image, where the crest and trough of the cloud are visible and resemble an ocean wave. Sean Waugh, a severe storms expert with the National Severe Storms Laboratory who typically encounters such clouds as thunderstorms move over the Plains in the United States, compared the clouds to what happens when a rock is dropped in a pond. The cloud is just the leading edge of a ripple in the atmosphere. While the cloud in Portugal occurred in the afternoon, it was most likely a 'morning glory,' a specific type of cloud often associated with roll clouds that more commonly occurs after sunrise in the Gulf of Carpentaria in Australia. This type of roll cloud can stretch many hundreds of miles long, which is why it was seen up and down much of the central coast of Portugal. The heat wave that has swept Europe this week has led to multiple deaths and helped fuel wildfires in Greece, Turkey and Portugal. High temperatures are expected to spread east in the coming days.

Flossie weakens to tropical storm off Mexico's Pacific coast
MEXICO CITY — Hurricane Flossie weakened to a tropical storm Thursday off Mexico's southwestern Pacific coast with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph (95 kph), the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. It's expected to remain offshore and dissipate Thursday, but swells, 'life-threatening' surf and rip currents were expected in southwestern Mexico and the Baja California peninsula in the coming days.

Chance Of A Depression Forming Off Southeast Coast Increases
The latest update from the National Hurricane Center now shows a medium chance of development near Florida or along the Southeast coast this weekend or early next week. There is still potential for an area of low pressure to develop along a stalled front, which could eventually strengthen into a tropical or subtropical depression. Regardless of development, heavy rain looks likely across Florida Thursday and Friday into the upcoming Fourth of July weekend. Rain and storm chances increase along the Southeast coast later this weekend into next week.
