Weather forecasters have predicted the arrival of 'very warm' weather in a matter of days - with two parts of the country particularly hit.

While areas of the Midlands including Birmingham could see temperatures peak at 29C. Devon could see the mercury rise to 25C, while it will be slightly cooler in Cornwall with temperatures of 21C. In its long range forecast from June 12 to July 6, the Met Office said: "The start of this period is likely to be quite unsettled but also widely warm or very warm, perhaps locally hot in parts of the south and east. "Some showers and thunderstorms are likely to affect most parts but there will also be some sunshine. "Over the weekend and into the start of the following week, most parts will become drier. "However, there may be another brief spell of rain with a risk of some thunderstorms, before high pressure more firmly builds in from the west. "The rest of the following week looks like being mainly dry with variable cloud and some sunshine and often warm or very warm. "The far north may be largely cloudy with a threat of some more rain at times though."

Date when UK temperatures could rise up to 32C as heat maps turn red
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.

Join the Manchester Evening News WhatsApp group HERE 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."

Sudden downpours and rumbles of thunder across parts of England
Heavy rain and showers have produced rumbles of thunder across parts of England on Saturday. It came as a particularly intense band of showers charged east through the south and west, and forecasters said people should expect sudden downpours, thunder and dramatic skies. A Met Office yellow weather warning for thunderstorms was in place for most the day. The highest rainfall total was in Worlds End, Hampshire, where 31.9mm was recorded in the 12 hours to 8.30pm. The deluge saw rainfall totals of around 27-28mm across the southern stretch of the UK. Met Office data shows England recorded 32.8mm of rain last month – almost half the usual monthly average. The weather warning was initially for parts of central and southern England and Wales to 6pm, and was later altered to cover east, south-east and south-west England to 9pm. Sunday starts dry and bright for many, with some early sunshine ☀️ A little cloudier in the far west with scattered showers 🌦️ Remaining breezy, especially in and around any showers 🌬️ — Met Office (@metoffice) June 7, 2025 As the weather warning expired, Met Office meteorologist Zoe Hutin said: 'The band that had the most active showers on it, so had the most sort of lightning strikes within it, is now just off of the east coast of the country. 'The area of deepest instability has moved away. There are still a few reports of lightning across central England, but I think the worst of it is moving out of the way. 'We've lost the daytime heating, and the temperatures today were also adding to that instability and the development of those thunderstorms.' Top temperature was 19.4C in Manston, Kent, which was one of the areas hit by the downfalls along with Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk, which endured the heaviest showers and thunderstorms and recorded temperatures of around 18.7C. Conditions are now expected to settle down, but while 'there could still be some heavy down bursts at times and heavy showers at times – I think the worst is behind us,' Ms Hutin said. Conditions are expected to improve on Sunday, with a drier day forecast for many, though showers may linger in parts of the North and East. Clear and sunny spells are expected for many areas but there could be some more persistent showers later in the West and North West.
