Met Office gives verdict on chance of summer heatwaves in UK
It is twice as likely that summer will be hot across the UK this year, the Met Office has predicted as the forecasting body also warned of an increased risk of heatwaves. The predictions come on the heels of the country's sunniest spring on record, with some 630 hours of sunshine clocked up across the country between March 1 and May 27, in what has also been the driest spring for more than a century. Temperatures soared to 8C above the average for the time of year on Saturday – the last day of meteorological spring – ahead of a potentially hot summer season. The Met Office 's three-month outlook predicts that the chance of a hot summer is higher than normal, bringing an increased risk of heatwaves and heat-related impacts. The outlook shows it is 2.3 times more likely than normal that the UK will be hot over meteorological summer, which begins on June 1 and ends August 31. The average temperatures across the UK over those months range from 10-17C, with the south east of England experiencing the higher averages of 16-17C. The summers of 2018 and 2021-2023 were also predicted to be hot, with data showing it has been a decade since the last time a summer was predicted to be cool, in 2015. The latest outlook also shows the levels of rainfall and wind speed for the next three months will likely be near average. The three-month long-range forecast does not identify weather for a specific day or week but gives an indication of possible temperature, rainfall and wind speed over the period as a whole.

Houston weather: Memorial Day weekend forecast
The Brief Hot and Humid Conditions Through Memorial Day Unsettled Weather Pattern Arrives Next Week HOUSTON - The holiday weekend is here and you can expect it to be hot and humid for most of it. Expect highs in the low to mid 90s through Monday, with heat index values around 100-105°. A persistent southeast breeze will maintain high humidity levels and may carry haze from agricultural fires in Mexico. Also, if you are headed to the beach this holiday weekend, be aware that rip currents are likely. Swim near lifeguards and don't venture far into the water unless you are a very strong swimmer. Never swim at San Luis Pass - it's illegal and dangerous. Other than those warnings, just enjoy the warm breezes, stay hydrated and protect your skin from the sun. Rain chances will begin to increase Monday with afternoon and evening storms possible, especially north. For the rest of next week, the weather begins to turn more unsettled. Showers and thunderstorms become more likely Monday night into Tuesday as a weak cold front approaches, bringing a higher chance of rainfall through much of Tuesday. The pattern continues midweek with scattered showers and storms on Wednesday and Thursday. Highs next week could stay in the mid to upper 80s with continued muggy conditions.
