Major European heatwave set to hit 45C – see how it will impact UK weather
A heatwave is expected to bring scorching 45C temperatures to some parts of Europe next week, with weather maps suggesting some of the heat will head to cities across Britain as well A boiling heatwave across Europe could bring 45C temperatures to some countries in just a few days' time. And the weather in the UK will be affected by these high temperatures. Parts of southern Spain and Portugal have already started to feel the hot weather, possibly reaching 40C in places today, and those temperatures are set to rise throughout next week - potentially peaking at 45C, according to Netweather. The hot air mass is expected to move northward from Spain, bringing some of those warm temperatures to the UK as next week progresses. And weather maps for the end of next week show temperatures across the country slowly rising. The GFS weather model shows temperatures next Saturday reaching higher than 30C in the south-east of England. At 12pm on Saturday, the weather maps show London and the areas south-east of the city could reach 32C. Other parts of the country will also get warm conditions, although not as high at the south-east. Major cities like Manchester, Liverpool and Glasgow could get temperatures in the mid 20Cs, according to forecasts. Conditions in Northern Ireland and Scotland are expected to be cooler. However, this hot air mass from Spain is due to collide with low pressure from the North Atlantic which means thunderstorms could come with the hot weekend, according to Netweather forecaster Ian Simpson. He said: "A very hot air mass will develop over Spain and Portugal over the next few days, and then towards the back end of next week, this hot air mass will push northwards into the British Isles, especially affecting the south and east of Britain. "The heat will not last for long in these parts, being delivered by a "Spanish plume" type of southerly followed by a change to cooler west to south-westerlies, but it could end up quite intense for this early in the season." The Met Office's long range forecast also predicts warm weather and thunder for June 12 to 21. It states: "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."

Weather forecaster's blunt six-word advice to anyone getting married this week
Our British weather often likes to rain on our parade - quite literally - and if your parade is a wedding this weekend, it is important to note the forecast looks rather bleak Thunderstorms are set to batter most of the UK this weekend - leaving those getting married somewhat in the mire. Brides and grooms, and wedding guests this week should "just cross your fingers and hope," according to one weather forecaster as the picture looks unpleasant. Saturday is most likely to be the worst of a dreary weekend with a band of low pressure moving in from the west. As a result, downpours are expected across large swathes of the UK, including Wales and the Midlands. The rain will be slow to clear too as winds will be light, particularly in the east. Jo Farrow, meteorologist at Netweather, wrote on the service's blog: "Take a raincoat or an umbrella and if it's a wedding, just cross your fingers and hope. You can't do anything to change where these showers will head and a weather app won't tell you that detail." Temperatures exceeded 20C in parts of the UK on Wednesday, including at Kew Gardens in southwest London, but it was wet in northern parts, especially along the Cumbrian coastline. This divide looks set to remain for the next couple of days until Saturday's unpleasant picture. The heaviest of Saturday's rain - as much as 30mm - will fall across north Wales. Thunderstorms will be widespread - even if the rain isn't as dense - as the low pressure moves southeast over the course of the day. While it will be cloudy on Sunday, the forecast looks drier. However, lingering showers are likely along the North Sea coast as far north as Aberdeenshire to Suffolk in the south. Ms Farrow added: "The signal for a low pressure on Saturday is strong. There is slight uncertainty about the exact timing of its sweep across the UK. However, there will be heavy downpours, the risk of hail and thunderstorms, and large puddles for England and Wales with hefty downpours for Scotland." No flood warnings are in place at this stage but the Environment Agency advises people to monitor its website for changes. Waterways across the Midlands, including the River Severn, are likely to be made subject to warnings or alerts in the coming day as computer models offer forecasters more data about the ridge of low pressure. Writing on its website, the Met Office says: "Staying changeable with sunny spells and showers on Friday. Heavier and more frequent showers on Saturday, with hail and thunder possible. Drier on Sunday. Often breezy and feeling rather cool." The pattern is set to continue into next week. The website adds: "Changeable weather across the UK at the start of this period with showers or some longer spells of rain spreading in from the Atlantic. The heaviest and most prolonged rain will probably be across parts of the north and northwest, with the southeast likely driest."

A weather forecast map has revealed the exact date parts of the UK could experience 29C temperatures from an Iberian jet stream The UK is set to be hit by a wave of warm weather, reaching up to 29C, and the exact date the heat bomb will reach has been revealed. The latest weather charts have revealed an Iberian jet stream will send scorching temperatures across the UKs way in the coming weeks. Maps from Netweather have shown that temperatures in one part of the country will peak at 29C on June 11. Despite this, other major UK cities won't be far behind and will also get boiling hot weather around 27C on that glorious day, in just two weeks, according to maps from WX Charts. Weather graphs has turned red for mid June, which could be a welcome surprise after the showery and gloomy weather inflicted on most of the nation for the end of May. A forecast map from Netweather for 3pm on 11 June has predicted the warmest temperatures will be felt in southeastern England. This forecast has suggested the area in and around London could reach a high of 29C. It has shown most of England and parts of northern Scotland under a blanket of red temperatures. For example, Manchester could see temperatures reach around 24C. This map has predicted the weather in Wales and Northern Ireland will be still be warm but stay around 20C.

A map from WX Charts has also predicted most of southeastern England will experience warmer weather on June 11. It has predicted London could experience 26 to 27C temperatures at 12pm on that day. This forecast has also suggested Liverpool could see temperatures rise to 22C and Manchester could get lucky with 25C. Belfast however is set to experience just 17C temperatures. Generally, the east coast will be the warmer side with Brits given the opportunity to make the most of the weather on its beaches. The Met Office's long range forecast, from June 11 to June 25 has also predicted the UK could see warm and dry weather. It said: "Changeable weather across the UK with a mixture of Atlantic weather systems moving in from the west interspersed with dry and sunny periods. "Wetter conditions tending to be towards the northwest of the UK, with the south and southeast likely to see more in the way of dry weather, Temperatures are most likely to be near or slightly above normal, perhaps with some hot spells at times, especially across the south. Any hot spells may be accompanied by an increased chance of thunderstorms though." Brits going to Spain in June have been warned as the Iberian jet stream that will bring the glorious weather to the UK will see sizzling temperatures across the country. The holiday hotspot is slated to rapidly warm up from Friday, May 23 to Tuesday, June 3. WX Charts weather maps show much of the mainland sweltering in mid-30s temperatures, with areas in the south-east climbing to 36C.

Will there be a heatwave next week?
Forecasters have predicted the UK could enjoy a 'heatwave' next weekend, with warmer weather expected to arrive on Friday. As the country enters a period of changeable weather for the next few weeks, this Friday (May 30) and Saturday (May 31) could see peak temperatures of up to 27C in London, say some forecasters. London and some English counties including Essex, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, and Hampshire are set to see warmest conditions, according to Netweather. The forecast also indicates warm weather will not just be restricted to the south with warmer conditions expected all over the UK and as far north as Yorkshire. The warmer temperatures will be a welcome break from the wet weather expected earlier this week with most parts of the country suffering under damp and stormy conditions. The Met Office have confirmed that the UK will experience higher temperatures this weekend with potential highs up to 25C in the south on Friday and Saturday. They believe that the north will be a little cooler with temperatures reaching the high teens, possibly low 20Cs. Maps generated by WXCharts, who presents data from several global weather models, show that temperatures will increase from Friday with dry conditions expected for the entire UK. Despite the increased temperatures this falls considerably short of the Met Office's classification of a heatwave – which needs temperatures to be from 25C-28C for three consecutive days. The UK is experiencing changeable weather conditions normal for May and June after the sunniest April for the UK since records began in 1910. The Met Office say that further spells of rain are expected over the next few days, mainly in the north while sunny spells and scattered showers in the south, but the weather will turn increasingly warm. They said: 'Temperatures this week will fluctuate as weather systems move across the UK, bringing wet and windy weather at times interspersed by warmer spells of sunshine. 'While the weather continues to be more unsettled this week compared to the dry and sunny weather through much of Spring so far, there is a chance of thunderstorms as we get to Saturday, while the confidence in the weekend outlook is low it is worth people keeping up to date with the forecast as we get closer to the weekend.' But despite the mixed conditions, as the weekend begins temperatures are set to increase across the country, with just how high the mercury rising depending on location. In London and the south east temperatures are predicted to rise to between 24C to 27C on Friday and Saturday afternoon, based on Netweather analysis. This is a considerable rise from 15C in the same area on Tuesday. In the north, Wales and Scotland temperatures are predicted to be from 16C to 19C, rising from an average of around 12C earlier in the week. As for next week, the Met Office say that there is a possibility we could see higher pressure moving in, leading to higher temperatures in the south, although there is 'fairly low confidence' in the extended outlook. With the warmer and drier conditions there is also a chance of thunderstorms in the south whilst rain and strong winds may develop in the north and northwest. They added that temperatures are expected to be around normal overall, but will be cooler in any prolonged periods of rainfall. The term 'heatwave' is often used to describe a period of hot weather, but this is often inaccurate as the term carries a meteorological definition. The Met Office defines a heatwave as 'an extended period of hot weather relative to the expected conditions of the area at that time of year, which may be accompanied by high humidity.' In the UK a heatwave is declared when the daily temperature of a certain location meets or exceeds one of four temperature thresholds for a minimum of three days. The lowest, covering Wales and Scotland, is 25C, and the highest, covering London, is 28C. The longest official heatwave in the UK was in 1976 when a heatwave was declared during 15 consecutive days of hot weather. The last official heatwave in the UK was in the summer of 2022 when there were three heatwaves declared in July and August. Despite reports that the UK may experience a heatwave next weekend the Met Office said the temperatures forecast for this weekend do not reach this criteria. They said: 'Temperatures in the mid to high 20's C are not unusual for late May and early June. Additionally, any period of higher temperatures is more likely to be fairly short lived."
