Weather modelling suggests that the UK could be in for a heatwave over the next month as temperatures could soar.
Both the Met Office and BBC weather forecasters are saying there are strong indications of high temperatures across the UK.
And, according to GFS weather model maps, temperatures are set to rise from June 20 when they could hit 30C in northern parts of the country and 31C in the south.

The high temperatures are reportedly set to continue on June 21, forecasters say, and could go as high as 32C in southern England while the north-west could see 30C, the Mirror reports.

June 22 is also predicted to be hot, as temperatures remain in the thirties on the south coast, and temperature anomaly maps show this is expected to be above the seasonal average.
Met Office forecasts for the end of June also indicate that we can expect "above average" temperatures.
The forecast for June 21 to July 5 states: "Mid-June will probably see a good deal of dry weather across the UK due to the influence of high pressure, especially in the south, although some thundery outbreaks are still possible.
"Toward the end of June and start of July, details are uncertain but conditions may become more changeable with some periods of unsettled weather.
"Above average temperatures are more likely than below with some hot spells possible."
BBC Weather's forecast for June 23 to July 6 mentions the possibility of "warmer than usual" conditions.
It states: "With low pressure likely to be lingering somewhere between Iceland and Greenland or extending at times towards parts of Scandinavia, Scotland and Northern Ireland continue to be prone to slightly wetter, windier conditions towards the end of June and into July. However, most of the UK should experience drier and calmer weather. In addition, it could remain warmer than usual.
"Therefore, there are currently few signs of a prolonged cool spell. Nevertheless, short-term fluctuations in general weather conditions are always possible. Long-term weather models continue to predict temperatures generally near the seasonal average."
Netweather's June 23 to July 1 forecast states: "The overall signal for this period reduces, but there is a fair chance that high pressure will continue to move out to the west, allowing the weather to turn cooler and wetter with lower pressure and north-westerly winds late in the period, but probably with plenty of dry sunny weather early in the period, especially in the west.
"Overall, this period is likely to come out warmer than average due to warmth early in the period, but not as notably so as during Week 3 - most likely just around 1C warmer than average, maybe as much as 2C above average in some regions. Sunshine and rainfall totals are uncertain but it will probably be drier and sunnier than average for most, especially in the west and south-west."
