Scots to see piping 25C temperatures in 'Spanish scorcher' heading for the UK
Scots are expecting more searing temperatures in mid-June, after this current showery spell. Scots enjoyed this year's first 'mini-heatwave', which lasted throughout most of May, as we saw the sunniest spring on record. And while we're currently seeing our fair share of rain, temperatures in the UK are set to soar in a 'Spanish scorcher' that's on its way, with the mercury in Scotland to reach a piping 25C. It comes as hot air blows over to the UK from sunny Spain, which has hit a searing 40C in early summer temperatures across the Iberian peninsula. And as this 'Spanish scorcher' makes its way over, the current showery spell is set to come to a welcome end. According to advanced weather maps on WX Charts, Thursday, June 12 is set to kick off the scorcher, with Scottish temperatures set to soar to a piping 25C in northern parts of the country, rivalling the current hottest temperature of the year so far. Auchincruvie, in South Ayrshire, and Tyndrum, in Stirlingshire, both recorded temperatures of 25.5C on Tuesday, May 13, but it's yet to be seen whether the piping weather expected on June 12 will break this current record. The mercury is forecast to range between a reasonable 19C and a searing 24C in the central belt on this day, while the Western Isles can expect cooler temperatures of around 14C. As usual, the south of England is set to see even hotter temperatures over the coming scorcher that are expected to reach a whopping 30C. The Weather Outlook forecaster Brian Gaze said: 'Summer is starting, so bring on the rain. But temperatures are forecast to rise in the second week of June, with computer models showing Spain's exceptional heat making a beeline for the UK. 'The likelihood is growing of temperatures around 30C or just above in mid-June, as hot air from the continent pushes towards Britain.' BBC Weather said: 'After changeable conditions, there's a possible warmer spell next week. And further into June should be mostly settled and warm, with largely summery and dry conditions." And these hot temperatures are expected to be recurring throughout summer, as the Met Office has predicted it to be a 'hotter than usual' season. The Met Office's three-month outlook suggests that the likelihood of a hot summer is higher than usual, bringing an increased risk of heatwaves. The forecast indicates that it is 2.3 times more likely than normal for the UK to experience a hot meteorological summer, which started yesterday, June 1, and ends on August 31. However, the national forecaster does admit that it can be difficult to predict the weather for the whole season so far in advance. The Met Office said: "It's not possible to predict the exact weather for an entirety of meteorological summer, and it's also not possible to predict the exact temperatures summer weather may reach. "When talking over such long periods, weather models are run hundreds of times to give an indication of the likely scenarios and give probabilities of different dominant conditions. "While long range outlooks, used primarily by contingency planners, suggest an above-average chance of warmer-than-average conditions, this is not an indication of an imminent record-breaking summer, as the cooler, or more average conditions remain possible." In terms of sunshine, we've already seen more than we had for the entirety of last summer, and if the Met Office's long range forecast for the next three months is accurate, Scots are set to see plenty more beach days, barbecues and picnics over the coming weeks and months.

Exact date Spanish scorcher sends UK mercury soaring to 31C as maps turn red
Temperatures could reach as high as 31C soon thanks to a 'Spanish scorcher' sending hot air barrelling towards the UK - while the Met Office has talked up the chances of a 'hotter than usual' summer Britain is set to be hit by a 400 mile-wide 'Spanish scorcher' as temperatures finally top 30C. After the record spring sizzle, summer is beginning with drizzle and a cooldown this week, with disappointing 16-20C highs over the next few days and soggy spells. But hot air blowing from melting Spain - which has ushered in 40C early summer temperatures across the Iberian peninsula - is due to blow to Britain after the weekend, according to weather maps. BBC Weather has predicted that the mercury will nudge 27C by next Wednesday and other weather forecasters have said 31C will follow, beating the 29.3C hottest day of the year recorded on May 1. Forecasters said the heat could last for weeks, with the Met Office yesterday predicting that this summer is twice as likely to be hotter than normal. It comes as spring is set to be confirmed as one of the hottest, sunniest and driest ever Weather Outlook forecaster Brian Gaze said: 'Summer is starting, so bring on the rain. 'But temperatures are forecast to rise in the second week of June, with computer models showing Spain's exceptional heat making a beeline for the UK. 'The likelihood is growing of temperatures around 30C or just above in mid-June, as hot air from the continent pushes towards Britain.' BBC Weather said: 'After changeable conditions, there's a possible warmer spell next week. And further into June should be mostly settled and warm, with largely summery and dry conditions." A Met Office forecaster said: 'It will feel cooler, with widespread heavy rain on Tuesday and spells of showers from Wednesday onwards, perhaps with strong winds. "But high pressure will probably become more dominant over the weekend and towards mid-June. There's the chance of a few hot days. "From June 14 to 28 has a mixture of Atlantic weather systems and sunny periods, and perhaps hot spells." In the meantime, Monday is set to start bright and sunny in most areas but will turn cloudier throughout the day, with heavy rain in Northern Ireland and parts of western Scotland. Temperatures will reach a daytime maximum of 22C in London, 19C in Manchester, 18C in Belfast and Cardiff, and 17C in Edinburgh. UK weather forecast Monday: Initially dry and sunny with light winds, but turning increasingly cloudy from the west. Heavy rain spreads across Northern Ireland and into western Scotland through the evening. Windy here too. Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday: Heavy rain clears eastwards early on Tuesday morning, leaving a legacy of blustery showers across the country. Further outbreaks of rain on Wednesday and Thursday, but some brighter spells too.

Dublin weather: 'Scorching' heatwave coming with temperatures soaring after 'unsettled' week
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Ireland could be set for a scorching heatwave with temperatures predicted to soar into the 20s, according to weather models. The end of April could see record-breaking temperatures in parts of northwest Europe, potentially reaching as high as 30C. Weather photographer Sryan Buen has highlighted that the GEM weather model is the first to forecast these surging temperatures. Sryan said: "Model watching has been dead for a while. GEM first "interesting" one for a hot minute with it showing 30C in East Anglia on the final day of April 2025 along with widespread high 20s in SE England. Would break records. "Wasn't even a total outlier either although on the upper range of the suite. Not to be taken as gospel. I've said for a long time April's potential for high temps has not been reached at all. It tends to peak mid-month with a cooling in the second half for physical reasons." The Weather Outlook has also confirmed that temperatures could reach as high as 30C across the Irish Sea in parts of the UK. The Weather Outlook stated: "The Canadian Global Model today has shown 30C being reached on Wednesday 30th April, which is nine days away." This weather model shows temperatures at "]around 1,500 metres above sea level" and is usually a "good indication of the air mass." Daniel, also known as The Snow Dreamer, has suggested that this heat plume will bring a "taste of summer" with temperatures exceeding the mid-20s. Daniel posted on Twitter : "Watching the potential for a plume scenario near end of April across the UK and Western Europe. This could bring a taste of summer with temperatures over the mid-20s. There's greater confidence on it being settled." However, before this heatwave arrives, Dubliners will have to prepare for some unsettled weather. A band of rain is expected to move in this morning after a sunny start. Heavy downpours are predicted for this afternoon along with fresh breezes, and temperatures reaching highs of 14C. Tonight is set to be mostly cloudy with some showers, patches of mist and fog developing, and lowest temperatures of 6C. And here is what Met Eireann's forecast says for the rest of the week: Overview: Mixed weather overall with rain and showers at times but also dry and sunny intervals. Wednesday: Any mist and fog patches will clear tomorrow morning leaving a mix of cloud and sunny spells and with a few showers developing. Better sunny spells will develop later in the day. Highest temperatures of 12 or 13 degrees in light to moderate northerly or variable breezes. Wednesday night: Dry with mostly clear skies though it will turn cloudier in the southwest. Lowest temperatures of 3 to 8 degrees in light easterly or variable breezes with some mist and fog patches developing. Thursday: Mist and fog will clear through the morning. Plenty of dry weather for most with sunny spells and just a few light showers. However, it will be cloudier in the west and southwest with outbreaks of rain and drizzle developing through the morning and afternoon, turning more persistent in the evening. Highest temperatures of 13 to 16 or 17 degrees in light to moderate southeasterly breezes.

Highest temperatures of 11 to 16 degrees, coolest in the north and east, with a moderate southeasterly wind, easing southwesterly as the rain clears. Becoming largely dry with clear spells early in the night though some mist and fog will develop. Lowest temperatures of 5 to 9 degrees. Saturday: Sunny spells and scattered showers or longer spells of rain expected. Highest temperatures of 13 to 16 or 17 degrees in light to moderate southwesterly winds, fresher for Atlantic coasts.

Threat of severe storms, damaging winds again tomorrow
On the heels of this weekend's storm threat comes another opportunity Wednesday night. [DOWNLOAD: Free WHIO-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Storm Center 7 Chief Meteorologist Austin Chaney is tracking this system. He will have the latest LIVE on News Center 7 at 5:00, 5:30, 6:00, and 11:00. This one won't get the same attention as the storm over the weekend, but it still bears watching, Storm Center 7 Chief Meteorologist Austin Chaney said. The timeline is around 11 p.m. on Wednesday. A line of thunderstorms will be moving in from Indiana. The overnight timeline limits the amount of instability (storm fuel) we'll have, but we will have plenty of wind shear to work with. In these high-shear, low instability setups we can get isolated severe thunderstorms. Damaging winds and even the possibility of a brief, spin-up tornado will be the threats. Timing will be very important. Earlier arrival would mean greater instability and a higher risk for storms. Later arrival would mean lesser instability and a lower risk for storms. We'll watch the trends in the forecast very carefully. The Storm Prediction Center's Day 2 Severe Weather Outlook includes the Miami Valley in the level 1/5 marginal risk for severe storms.
