The UK is gearing up for a warmer weekend with temperatures expected to peak at 21°C in the south, even as the Met Office refrains from declaring it a heatwave. Despite the pleasant conditions, thunderstorms may occur on Sunday followed by cooler, rainy weather next week.
The UK is expected to experience significantly warmer weather this weekend, with temperatures forecast to reach up to 21°C, particularly in the southern areas such as East Anglia, London, and the Midlands. Though not officially classified as a heatwave by the Met Office, which requires three consecutive days of temperatures at 25°C or above, the weather is set to be mostly fine and dry due to high pressure systems.
Northern parts of the UK, including cities like Liverpool, Glasgow, and Newcastle, will also see a rise in temperatures, with highs around 19°C expected. The warmer conditions follow a period of higher temperatures earlier in the week, during which London saw multiple days of 20°C.
The weekend forecast indicates a continuation of the warm and sunny weather but includes a potential for thunderstorms on Sunday. Following this, the weather is expected to turn cooler with rain showers beginning early next week. Residents and visitors are encouraged to stay informed on the latest weather updates due to the possibility of changing conditions.
