UK weather maps sizzle with 25C Iberian plumes stretching 600 miles

Newly released UK weather maps show a potential ‘start of summer’ with an Iberian plume of 25C on the way next week. June is already halfway through and has felt more like the choppy weather of October and November.

But this is set to change based on Netweather’s latest maps. They indicate between June 24 and June 30, Britons can expect warmer temperatures. The highest temperatures are expected in the far north and southern Britain on June 25. On June 24, however, cities such as Manchester, Liverpool, Doncaster and Sheffield will hit 24 degrees Celsius.

On June 25, London and Inverness are forecast to be the hottest places in the UK at 25C. Midlands and Yorkshire towns and cities will still enjoy 23C and 24C of sunshine, the Express reports. Temperatures are expected to be slightly cooler in Wales and other coastal areas. Cornish towns can expect 16°C to 20°C, while Wales will experience summer temperatures of 17°C to 20°C.

In the North East, cities such as Newcastle and Middlesbrough will see temperatures between 21 and 23C as we approach the end of June. Towards the end of June, particularly on 30 June, temperatures are expected to drop slightly, with expected highs of 24C in southern regions and 20C in the north, particularly around major urban areas. Seaside towns and cities in the south and south east will enjoy some of the warmest conditions outside of London.

However, despite the forecast rise in temperatures, the Met Office has issued a warning of potentially unsettled weather as June draws to a close. Their long-range forecast, starting June 21, indicates a shift from recent settled weather to more unpredictable patterns: “After several days of mostly good and stable weather, a gradual transition to more changeable conditions in the Atlantic is likely to have place with periods of cloud, rain and stronger winds affecting the west and north-west most often.”

The Met Office also highlighted the possibility of disruptive weather soon: “There remains a small chance that an area of ​​heavy rain and thunder will affect parts of the south on Friday 21st, possibly accompanied by brief warm and humid conditions.”

As June draws to a close, it looks like changeable weather will continue to be the norm, particularly in northern and western areas, while the south and east may experience wetter and drier spells. Temperatures across the UK are generally expected to be around or even above average for this time of year.
