Will it be warm this weekend?
Sunday 1 June marks the start of summer on the meteorological calendar. As the season changes - are we likely to see warm and sunny weather across the UK? Overall, it's been a dry and warm spring - already confirmed as the sunniest on record, some cooler and showery weather this week, temperatures are on the rise across England and eastern Wales, with a few locations expected to reach 26C (79F) on Saturday. Will it warm up everywhere? Not all parts of the country will experience the warmth this weekend as high pressure will only influence conditions across parts of England and Wales. Meanwhile, low pressure systems will continue further north - bringing showers or longer spells of rain to northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland over the next few days, with maybe even an isolated thunderstorm. Despite this, temperatures will remain slightly above average, and it will feel pleasant whenever the sun breaks through the shower clouds. Any sign of a June heatwave? June is the first month of meteorological summer, so it is not unusual to have hot spells of weather. It's all down to the position of the jet-stream and ultimately the pressure pattern set up. Some computer models are hinting at a hotter spell unfolding towards the end of the first week of June, as we may import a plume hot air from the near continent. However, it's too early to say for chance of a hot, and potentially humid spell of weather could also come with the risk of some bigger thunderstorms which can often bring a lot of rain in a short space of time for some. UV and Pollen levels The sun reaches the highest point in the sky and therefore its peak strength during June – especially around the summer solstice. Whatever the temperature, it's worth remembering that UV levels are likely to remain high even on the cloudiest of June pollen also peaks in June, often making this a miserable time of year for hay fever sufferers. The pollen count tends be lower in cooler and showery weather conditions, so the lack of high temperatures and wall-to-wall sunshine could be a welcome relief to forget that you can check UV and pollen levels as part of your local forecast on the BBC Weather App.

At least 14 killed in Pakistan storms after heatwave
LAHORE: "Destructive" windstorms that raged across central and northern Pakistan after an intense heatwave have killed at least 14 people and injured over 100 more, officials said on Sunday (May 25). Fierce winds, thunder and lightning swept across eastern Punjab and northwestern Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa provinces as well as the capital Islamabad on Saturday afternoon and evening, uprooting trees and downing electric poles. While the majority of the deaths were caused by collapsing walls and roofs, at least two people died after being hit by solar panels dislodged by the whipping gusts. One man was killed and three others were injured by lightning strikes. Mazhar Hussain, a spokesperson for the Punjab provincial disaster management authority, told AFP that such windstorms develop because of excessive heat, which reached above 45 degrees Celsius in recent days. "There were three to four days in the recent heatwave where temperatures went up quite a lot," he said, announcing 14 deaths in Punjab and 100 injured. "This windstorm was particularly destructive. The wind speed was very high. There was so much dust in it that visibility was greatly reduced." The Pakistan Meteorological Department predicted more storms on Sunday. Social media was replete on Saturday evening with videos of the damage the windstorms had unleashed. A clip filmed inside a plane about to land in Punjab's city of Lahore showed passengers screaming in terror as the aircraft was tossed about by turbulence. The plane was later diverted to Karachi. Other videos show cars crushed by falling trees and roads blocked by debris. Pakistan, one of the countries most vulnerable to the effects of climate change, is grappling with increasingly frequent extreme weather events. Islamabad experienced several usually rare hail storms throughout April and May that damaged vehicles, smashing window panes and shattering solar panels. Soaring temperatures in April and May are becoming more common in Pakistan, which usually sees summer begin in early June. Temperatures reached near-record levels in April, as high as 46.5 degrees Celsius in parts of Punjab.
