According to maps from Netweather TV and WX Charts, the heatwave will start from 3pm on June 13 and temperatures will continue to rise over the next week. WX Charts, which uses Met Desk data, updates its forecasts daily on its website.

The BBC suggested a “warmer trend” between June 1 and June 16, saying: “In the third week of June, conditions could again be quite changeable as low pressure areas could approach or surround at times UK.

“There is also the possibility of low pressure moving generally to the north or north-west of the UK later this week, allowing High Azores high pressure to spread to the southern part of the UK, the a bit temporary.

“This would lead to warmer, calmer and slightly drier conditions, particularly in southern areas. However, a renewal of a stronger block of high pressure over Scandinavia could lead to drier and warmer east or south-easterly flow, particularly in northern and eastern parts of the UK, and wetter conditions further west and south”.

Between 17 and 30 June, the forecast is: “The fourth week of June could be drier, particularly in eastern and southern parts of the UK. This would be due to areas of low pressure which could mainly affect western and northwestern parts of the UK. The UK and an extended area of ​​high pressure over the Azores or the Scandinavian Sea could affect regions of the UK at times. As a result, it will continue to be warmer than average.

“During the last week of June there are signs that high pressure will settle near or over the UK for a prolonged period. This increases the chance of continued higher temperatures. There is even a chance of very warm weather in southern England and Wales and conditions could be drier almost everywhere. However, for Scotland at least, there is still a risk of wetter and slightly windier conditions.”

While warm and sunny weather may be on the horizon for the country, the coming days are not looking too good. With Bristol largely covered in cloud for the rest of the week, temperatures won’t get into the 20s when the sun breaks out.
