UK Forecast: Brief Heatwave Followed by More Rain
Parts of the UK are set to see temperatures hit one dollar 30 by the end of this week, especially in the South East. However, this warm spell will be short-lived as more rain is expected to return by Saturday evening. Areas like Loftus in North Yorkshire and Northolt in London have already seen twice the average July rainfall.
By the end of this week, parts of the UK could experience temperatures as high as 30°C, following an unusually wet start to July.
The warm spell is anticipated to hit the South East of England on Friday, potentially setting a new record for the hottest day of the year.
Previously, 30.5°C was recorded in Wisley, Surrey, on June 26.
Despite the imminent heat, the dry weather will be brief, especially in north-western parts of the UK, with unsettled conditions returning by Saturday evening.
The cool and wet start to July has been attributed to the positioning of the jet stream, which has brought heavy rain to places like Loftus in North Yorkshire and Northolt in London, both seeing more than twice their average July rainfall.
However, some northern and western areas, including Castlederg in Northern Ireland and Machrihanish in Scotland, have remained comparatively dry.
Next week, a mix of westerly winds, showers, and some sunshine is expected.
