Weather maps show UK towns and cities to be hit in 28C scorcher
New weather maps and charts from show the mercury hitting at least 23C (73.4F) across the UK in 58 cities in England, Scotland and Wales on June 20 Brits are set to sizzle in a 28C ' Spanish plume ' as a mini- heatwave is forecast to scorch cities from up and down the country later this month. There are 58 cities across England, Scotland, and Wales that are expected to see temperatures soar to at least 23C. Heat maps for June 20 indicate a searing heat plume from Europe could trigger a ' mini-heatwave ', beginning in the southeast and reaching as far north as Glasgow. This news comes on the heels of the UK recording its sunniest spring ever, offering a ray of sunshine after a week marred by heavy rain and gloomy forecasts for many regions. Friday promises a mix of sunny spells and showers early on, but clouds will roll in from the west in the afternoon, bringing rain with them. Saturday is expected to bring heavy, potentially thundery showers interspersed with sunny intervals. BBC forecaster Simon King has commented on the upcoming mixed bag of weather, stating: "The Atlantic influence and low pressure is likely to continue into next week with the wettest weather towards northern and western areas of the UK." He added: "Some brighter and slightly warmer conditions are more likely around mid-week, especially in southern areas. Temperatures may start to increase by mid-week too." However, weather charts for the week starting June 16 indicate a dramatic turnaround in the UK's weather fortunes, as scorching heat from Spain spreads into France, across the Channel, and up from southern England. By June 19, and even more so on Friday, the heat maps turn a deep red as temperatures begin to surge. The Met Office's long-range forecasts show that the weather is expected to be a lot sunnier in the second half of June. Its forecast from June 10-19 states: "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. "Temperatures are expected to be near normal or slightly above. Into the second half of next week, there is potential for some warm or hot weather to develop, particularly in the south and east, although this may be accompanied by heavy showers and thunderstorms. Into the middle of June, high pressure may become more dominant. This could bring periods of fine and dry weather, especially in south and temperatures rising above normal, although some thundery outbreaks remain possible." But then from June 20 to July 4 its prediction reads: "Mid-June will probably see a good deal of dry weather across the UK with high pressure tending to dominate, especially in the south, although some thundery outbreaks are still possible. "Towards the end of June and start of July, details are uncertain but conditions may become more changeable with some periods of unsettled weather. Temperatures will probably be slightly higher than normal, perhaps turning hot at times." There are 58 UK cities, reports the Express, that are set to sizzle at temperatures of at least 23C on June 20. Here is the list: Bath Birmingham Bolton Bradford Brighton and Hove Bristol Cambridge Canterbury Cardiff Carlisle Chelmsford Chester Chichester Colchester Coventry Derby Doncaster Durham Ely Glasgow Gloucester Hereford Hull Ipswich Kingston upon Hull Lancaster Leeds Leicester Lichfield Lincoln Liverpool London Manchester Milton Keynes Newcastle Newport Northampton Norwich Nottingham Oxford Peterborough Portsmouth Preston Reading Ripon Salford Salisbury Sheffield Southampton Southend-on-Sea St Albans Stoke-on-Trent Sunderland Wakefield Wells Westminster Winchester York

More info Vast swathes of the UK are set to enjoy a heatwave this weekend, with temperatures potentially soaring up to 22C. On May 17, northern England and areas north of the border could be basking in warmer weather than the south coast and southeast, with cities like Edinburgh and Glasgow possibly outshining Brighton. The forecasted warm spell is expected to make Saturday another delightful day for the nation, which has been relishing a sunny start to May. However, the absence of rainfall in certain regions has prompted the Environment Agency to caution about possible drought conditions this summer. According to new maps from and WXCharts, central Scotland and parts of Northern Ireland could see the mercury hit 22C on Saturday, while the northwest of England might experience around 21C. In contrast, London and the southeast are predicted to have temperatures in the high teens. In Scotland, there's a notable 7C difference between Aberdeen and the Scottish central belt, with the former only reaching 15C. On a positive note for farmers and gardeners, this past weekend saw some thunderstorms across the West Country, South Wales, and parts of the West Midlands, reports the Express. The Met Office has also indicated that rainy weather may persist today (Monday) in southern and western parts of the UK, with potential warnings for thunderstorms. From Tuesday onwards, high pressure will re-establish itself, bringing back dry conditions and sunshine across the country, with temperatures ranging in the low to mid-20s. Looking ahead from Friday into the weekend, the Met Office said: "Dry, fine, and largely sunny conditions are expected to continue for the majority of the UK as the slow moving area of high pressure remains centred over the country. "The weather will continue to feel warm or very warm, but it may feel cooler near the east coast. This area of high pressure is expected to remain in place through much of the following week, however there is an increasing likelihood that conditions could turn wetter and more unsettled by the following weekend. "Areas of rain and strengthening winds may approach from the west and/or south, with a chance of thundery outbreaks at times as well. Daytime temperatures continue to be generally above average at first, and perhaps closer to average later on in the period."
