Londoners are used to unpredictable weather and this summer we've experienced just that. But a European heatwave could mean some scorching summer temperatures arrive in the UK, according to weather maps.
Netweather and WXCharts have predicted that blasting hot temperatures will arrive from August 8. Temperatures in and around London could hit 31C, according to the predictions, with the heat at its greatest at about 3pm.
However, the rest of the UK could be in for a treat too. Driffield, near York, in the north-east of England, is estimated to reach 25C and, even further north, in Middlesbrough a temperature of 24C is forecast. Scotland too is looking set for a warmer spell on that day with a top temperature of 21C predicted for near Aberdeen.
The reason for the heatwave seems to be due to mercury getting up to 33C just off the coast of France.
“No single weather type is expected to dominate through this period. Some spells of dry, settled weather will likely alternate with wetter, cloudier conditions at times," the Met Office said.
“The wettest conditions will probably be in the north-west, with the south-east tending to be driest. Through the period as a whole, warmer than average conditions are more probable, perhaps with some short-lived hot spells.”
The Met Office warned earlier this week that south-western Europe will have high temperatures. Meanwhile, back in the UK the weather for the rest of this week is likely to stay cooler.
