He shared with The Mirror: "It's not going to be so hot so quickly but there are solid signs after the first week of June, when if things map out as now, we can expect 30C plus on

the cards." Meanwhile, the Met Office's extended forecast stretching from June 11 to June 25 hints at warmth but also notes possible thunderstorms due to rising humidity levels.

Wetter conditions tending to be towards the northwest of the UK, with the south and southeast likely to see more in the way of dry weather.", reports the Mirror. "Temperatures are

most likely to be near or slightly above normal, perhaps with some hot spells at times, especially across the south. Any hot spells may be accompanied by an increased chance of thunderstorms

though." From this weekend, the UK's weather is set to improve with stable highs of 20C expected next week. By Saturday, June 7, temperatures will rise by a degree in the

south-east, and it's during the second week of June that we'll see a significant increase in temperature. By Tuesday, June 10, much of London, Kent and Essex will experience the

brunt of the heatwave - with temperatures ranging from 25C to 26C bringing strong UV rays for many. In the north, cities such as Leeds and Newcastle can expect temperatures around 24C. By

Wednesday, maps turn dark red - indicating a widespread 28C blanket covering much of the country, including northern cities, towns and villages. However, current GFS maps suggest the heat

could start to dissipate by Friday. Article continues below In the UK, a heatwave is officially declared if hot weather exceeding a specific temperature persists for three consecutive days.

For most of England, Wales and Scotland, this threshold is 25C, according to the Met Office. For a heatwave to be officially declared in Surrey, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire,

Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire, along with central London, temperatures need to reach 28C highs for three consecutive days.
