Britain could be hit by another heatwave According to the latest WXCHARTS weather maps and forecasts, temperatures are to soar to 34C amid the "very warm or hot conditions" during the next heatwave, which will be at its strongest in mid-June.

Forecasters understand high pressure will build in the east of England and in the south east of England.

In a long-range forecast, covering the period between 15 June and 24 June, the Met Office said: "Fine and dry across much of the UK for the first couple of days of this period with long spells of sunshine for most.

"Temperatures are likely to be above normal and parts of the south could be very warm for a time. Just a chance of some thunderstorms, more likely toward the southwest.

"A more unsettled spell is likely through the middle of next week with outbreaks of rain the north and northwest, some of which could spread to parts of the south and southeast at times. After this, high pressure will probably become more dominant with conditions turning widely dry and settled, and probably very warm for many."

This comes after the Met Office predicted more heatwaves are possible in the coming months.

The forecaster said in its three-month outlook that the chance of a hot summer is higher than normal.

A separate forecast from WXCharts also suggested temperatures could soar, with some areas of southern England potentially hitting 34C. The charts reveal temperatures climbing steadily through mid-June, with large swathes of England and Wales tipped to bask in highs of the mid-to-high 20s.

Other parts of the UK, including London, the South East, and East Anglia could see the mercury breach 30C, while isolated hotspots may nudge towards 34C should current projections hold firm.

During the same period, Scotland and Northern Ireland look set to stay considerably cooler, with readings generally sitting anywhere between the mid-teens and low 20s.

While long-range forecasts are always subject to revision, meteorologists say the emerging high-pressure pattern is making prolonged spells of dry, sunny and increasingly warm weather across much of England and Wales ever more likely as June rolls on, the Mirror reported.
