ACCORDING TO THE LATEST MAPS FROM WXCHARTS, ON JUNE 12 THE MERCURY COULD REACH 30C FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR, WITH LONDON SET TO EXPERIENCE THE WARMEST CONDITIONS ANNABAL BAGDI Senior
reporter and ADAM TOMS Senior Politics and Transport Reporter 13:45, 31 May 2025Updated 13:47, 31 May 2025 Brits are in for a treat with a warm weekend filled with dry and sunny weather, but
even hotter temperatures are anticipated around mid-June. The latest maps from WXCharts suggest that on June 12, the mercury could hit 30C for the first time this year, with London expected
to bask in the highest temperatures. Forecasters have also predicted warm conditions in other parts of the South East, with temperatures reaching between 25C and 28C. East Anglia is also
set to enjoy temperatures of 28C, while the Midlands can expect a high of 27C, according to WXCharts. Parts of the north will also experience warmth, with Newcastle forecasted to reach 26C.
Scotland, on the other hand, is expected to be cooler with temperatures ranging from 20C to 23C, despite a predicted high of 25C in the north, near Forres. Article continues below The
weather maps indicate that the mainland will experience a low of 16C, while the Isles in north-western Scotland will see temperatures of 14C, as reported by the Express. READ MORE:
EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT NEW COVID VARIANT SPREADING GLOBALLY Starting this weekend, the nation's weather fortunes will begin to shift, with highs of 20C remaining steady into next
week. By Saturday, June 7, this will increase by a degree in the south-east, and it's during the second week of June when the mercury is expected to rise significantly, reports the
Mirror. By Tuesday, June 10, much of London, Kent and Essex will start to feel the brunt of the heatwave - with temperatures of 25C to 26C bringing strong UV rays for many. This will be more
like 24C in the north, with cities such as Leeds and Newcastle experiencing these temperatures. Leading bookmaker Coral has slashed their odds to 4-5 (from 5-2) on next month being the
hottest June on record in the UK. "With the outlook looking positive for next month, we have slashed the odds on a record-hot June," said Coral's John Hill. The Met Office has
predicted "a few hot days" in June. The long-range weather forecast from June 4 to June 13 reads: "A changeable spell of weather is expected at the beginning of this period
as areas of low pressure move in from the Atlantic across the UK. "These will bring showers or longer spells of rain to most areas, heavy at times and perhaps accompanied by strong
winds along some coasts, though drier interludes are likely too. "Over the weekend and towards the middle of June, high pressure will probably begin to become more dominant in the
south, at least for brief periods, whereas the north is more likely to remain more unsettled with further episodes of rain or showers and strong winds. Temperatures are likely to be close to
or slightly below normal at first, perhaps rising above average later, with a chance of a few hot days." The second half of the month is expected to see "changeable weather"
across the UK "with a mixture of Atlantic weather systems moving in from the west interspersed with dry and sunny periods." Article continues below The long-range forecast from
June 14 to June 28 says "temperatures are most likely to be near or slightly above normal, perhaps with some hot spells at times especially across the south."
