Forecasters have said how long the current hot, dry weather is set to last with the hottest day of the year coming tomorrow. The Met Office products Thursday will see temperatures reaching their highest yet of 2023 in parts of the UK.
And the BBC says the weather is set to stay the same for the next 11 days, with highs over 20C. Over the following 10 days, continued sunshine is expected, with temperatures set to stay in the high teens and the low 20C range, up until the end of the month.
With the arrival of June, the mercury is set to shoot up to 26C, according to WXCharts. The highest temperatures will arrive on June 7, with the South East of England seeing the highest temperatures.
A Met Office spokesperson said settled and warm conditions expected over the coming days are down to an area of high pressure to the west of the UK.
The Met Office Uk forecast for next week, with a bank holiday and half term across much of the UK, reads: "Remaining predominantly settled through Sunday although perhaps somewhat cloudier than of late, with a few showers, especially further north and east.
"Through next week we can expect more dry weather with warm sunny spells for most across the UK. However, there is a small chance of cooler conditions extending from the north, or indeed warmer conditions, accompanied by showers, encroaching into southern areas.
"Winds generally light, but potentially stronger in the far north and south at times. Further into June, high pressure is still expected to dominate bringing largely settled conditions, though with the possibility of cloudier conditions and outbreaks of light rain in Northern Ireland and Scotland. Temperatures remaining above average with cooler conditions expected in coastal locations, and breezy at times in the far southeast and far northwest."
