The warmer weather comes days after Britain experienced three heatwaves, with the temperature soaring as high as 34C in many areas of the country.
According to the maps, the counties of London, Surrey, Hampshire, and Kent are among the areas that will see the extreme weather.
Much of the Midlands – including major cities like Birmingham, Nottingham and Leicester – are likely to see temperatures varying largely from 26C and 28C, the weather maps have suggested.
The northern areas of the country are likely to remain cooler as compared to the other parts of the UK.
According to the weather maps, cities such as Edinburgh, Aberdeen Inverness and Wick may see the mercury levels oscillating between 16 and 18C on July 30.
The Met Office's long-range forecast between July 30 and August 13 reads: "The end of July and first part of August will probably see a continuation of similar weather to the previous week or so - this being generally rather changeable with spells of rain or showers mixed in with some drier, brighter days.
"Towards mid-August, there are tentative signs that high pressure may become rather more dominant, which would bring more in the way dry, settled weather more widely.
"Temperatures are expected to continue to run above average overall, with a greater likelihood, compared to the preceding couple of weeks, of very warm or hot spells to develop by mid-August, especially further south and east."
The dramatic maps comes at the time when the Met Office revealed that record-breaking and extreme weather has become increasingly commonplace in the UK due to the change in the climate conditions.
The National Weather Agency explained that extreme hot weather and rainfall are becoming the norm in the country, with the last three years being the UK's top five warmest on record.

The world is melting. This shade map is the only thing that can save us
BY Listen to this Article More info 0:00 / 6:26 The sun is liquifying Madrid. Again. June 2025 shattered temperature records, with Spain recording its hottest June since weather records began in 1961. The month averaged 74.5°F, with a peak temperature of 114.8°F in El Granado, Huelva, while the Spanish capital experienced temperatures as high as 102°F. Now another heat wave is coming that will easily beat 40°C, which I believe is equivalent to 'lava' in Fahrenheit. I shouldn't have been surprised to discovered that, of course, there's an app for that: One that makes summer urban wandering a bit less dangerous by telling you which streets have more shade in a city at any given time. Usually, reasonable people would stay at home, but Spaniards being Spaniards, the 'Call of the Terrace' is too strong to resist. Our nature is weak even in the face of a deluge of deadly photons from our home star. We are like water buffalos herding towards the water knowing that death by crocodile awaits. It doesn't matter: 'Cañas'—the deliciously cold foamy tap beer served in very small glasses that you must drink before you die —'tapas', and messing around with friends in a shady terrace is all that counts. That's why yesterday a friend shared a tweet that said 'Google Maps is taking too long to include the option of how to get there but 'por la sombra.'' That's an idiom that literally means 'through the shade' and figuratively means to be careful and protect yourself, which you really need to do here during the summer (more than a thousand deaths attributed to heat waves in the last two months, the government says). I thought the idea of a navigation app to show you routes through streets with the most shade was a clever idea. After all, I've been playing that game with my son walking these past few weeks, back and forth to the summer camp bus, triangulating in our heads the optimal street walking sequence to avoid this ultraviolet tsunami. That's when another friend chimed in with a solution: 'I have become addicted to this website. Photography directors use to see if a location is in the sun or in the shade. It's a 'Google Maps of shade'.' He then pasted a link to something called Shademap. It was cool: A 3D map that could put you anywhere in the world to visually show the buildings' shadows on the street at any time and any day, for free. For a bit of money you can also see the shade projected by terrain and actual trees captured with aerial LiDAR, the laser sensor that creates three-dimensional maps of the world. The Shademap interface has a search bar on the top to find a location, which you can adjust using the same mouse conventions of Google Maps. A bar on the bottom allows you to easily select the date and time, which you can animate just by scrubbing a timeline. Seeing the shadows change throughout the day is surprisingly fun. You should try it. Sunlight is everything Shademap exists because life and every significant decision related to the design of our environment comes down to the sun. Homeowners planning a house extension may need to know how their addition will affect their neighbor's garden or their own. Real estate buyers want to understand whether that cool Manhattan duplex with a glass rooftop will become a radioactive death chamber by July. Landscape designers must predict which plants will thrive and which will wither on a certain spot based on seasonal sun exposure. Architects use it to position windows that maximize winter warmth while minimizing summer heat. Urban planners rely on shadow analysis to design parks and public infrastructure that people can enjoy. Solar power installers calculate optimal placement sites and angles in a house or a factory to maximize energy capture. The latter is especially important as the world moves away from fossil fuels: Knowing the solar energy potential for any location is what allows engineers to design massive solar farms. And there's the film and leisure aspect that I already mentioned. Shademap is the kind of tool that makes you realize how much of our world depends on understanding a single, predictable celestial body that we regular peeps largely ignore until it's trying to kill us. In my quest to find a dedicated shaded terrace locator, I also found an alternative to Shademap called Shadowmap, a professional tool which a more polished interface that offers a lot more features than Shademap. It's divided in three tiers. You can use it for free, too, which provides basic functionality including sun path visualization, current-day time changes, and worldwide 3D buildings and terrain. Shadowmap Explorer ($2.50/month) adds full camera freedom and first-person view, making it ideal for photographers, film crews, and event planners, or dedicated hikers (the antithesis of the Spanish terrace buffalo). Shadowmap Home ($8.33/month) includes all Explorer features plus high-quality 3D buildings, satellite maps, enhanced rendering options, and global weather/UV forecasts—designed for homeowners, gardeners, and property seekers who want to really look at how a new home will get illuminated throughout the year. For professionals, there's Shadowmap Studio ($58/month annually), which includes everything plus the ability to upload custom 3D models of your own projects, interactive solar analytics, project sharing capabilities, and Google's high-resolution satellite imagery. This tier is specifically designed for architects, urban planners, real estate professionals, and solar energy specialists who need advanced modeling capabilities. Which, OK, whatever, cool I guess. The question remains, 'Where can I have a caña and eat half a dozen gildas without melting into the sidewalk?' That's the tier I'm missing, Shadowmap, Shademap, Google, and whomever in hell is reading this. Make it a phone app, too, so I can search directly for 'terraces in the shade near me RIGHT NOW!!' It will kill it in Spain—and the rest of the world—I tell you. (But only Spain gets the jamón ibérico and boquerones lubricated with vermouth.) The super-early-rate deadline for Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies Awards is Friday, July 25, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Apply today.

Maps show where thunderstorms will hit UK this weekend as Met Office warnings issued
Thunderstorms and heavy downpours are set to hit the UK amid a spell of humid weather. Yellow warnings for storms have been issued across much of England on Friday and into the weekend, with the risk of sudden flooding and lightning strikes causing transport delays and power cuts. Temperatures will remain high, topping 30 degrees in parts of central and southern England on Friday. The yellow weather warnings are currently in place between 9pm on Friday and 6pm on Saturday. Met Office forecasters warn that spray and flooding could lead to difficulties for drivers, possible road closures, and the risk that some communities may become cut off as a result. Damage to homes and businesses is also possible from adverse weather conditions. On Sunday, the heavy showers are expected to continue, moving northwards throughout the day.

Want perfect weather year-round? This U.S. map shows where to find it.
What makes a perfect weather day? Ten people could easily have 10 different answers. Still, most would agree that it takes a combination of mild temperatures and minimal rain to get a climate that's just right. But few places in the U.S. have that kind of Goldilocks weather year-round. Yahoo News used data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to calculate the number of days in each county across the United States with nice weather, based on daily climate data from 2022 to 2024. Nice weather is defined as daily maximum temperature staying between 60°F and 85°F and rainfall remaining below 1 mm. San Diego County in California came the closest to having four seasons of beautiful weather, logging about 330 — or about 11 months — of nice weather days per year. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Aleutians East Borough in Alaska had the fewest nice weather days in a year, just 11. People willing to compromise on rain and temperature ranges may still be able to reach their version of climate perfection outside of the California Coast though. Many counties in Florida boast warm temperatures throughout the year, but there's a rainy season from May through October. People with high heat tolerance may also enjoy Southwestern areas, like Phoenix, where half of the year can reach over 85°F, but winters are rarely cold. Find out which part of the country has the perfect weather for you in the table below.
