data, shows the UK could face a sweltering uplift in temperatures during the sixth month of the year.

Counties set to roast include Kent and Sussex as well as Hampshire, Berkshire, Surrey, Greater London, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. Others set to benefit are Northamptonshire, the Isle

of Wight, Warwickshire, Leicestershire and Rutland.

WX Charts maps show Sunday 15 June will see a blanket of red heat up central and eastern England. And 23 English counties are set to bath in at least 23C, with some speculation 29C highs

could hit London - potentially rising to 31C at times.

through on the breeze. In any sunny spells, it will still feel warm if you are in a sheltered spot but cooler if you are caught in a downpour," she said.

"Some areas will miss the showers midweek but there is a signal for an area of rain to reach Wales early on Thursday and then move over England, followed by plenty of showers.

"The same low centre remains away to the north of Scotland and these frontal waves and showery flow look to sweep across the southern half of the UK in the second half of this week."

sunshine, alongside very low rainfall.

“This spring shows some of the changes we're seeing in our weather patterns, with more extreme conditions, including prolonged dry, sunny weather, becoming more frequent.

"The data clearly shows that recent decades have been warmer, sunnier, and often drier than the 20th century average, although natural variation will continue to play a role in the UK’s

weather.”
