A spell of cooler weather is expected to bring relief across much of the UK after an unprecedented June heatwave, but forecasts indicate that higher temperatures could return within days. While conditions are set to become closer to seasonal averages during the coming week, forecasts suggest parts of England could once again approach 30\u00b0C by early July, following several days of record-breaking June temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The UK’s recent heatwave has begun to ease, with fresher Atlantic air spreading from the west and bringing lower temperatures to many areas. According to the Met Office<\/strong>, the transition will continue through the weekend, although central and eastern England are expected to remain very warm overnight into Sunday, prompting the extension of its Amber Extreme Heat Warning<\/strong> until Sunday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The cooler conditions are expected to last through much of the coming week. According to weather forecasts reported by BirminghamLive, temperatures will remain closer to the average for this time of year before another warmer spell develops from Sunday, 5 July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Forecasts indicate that temperatures could begin climbing again next weekend. BirminghamLive reports that London and the South East may reach around 28\u00b0C on Sunday, 5 July, with the West Midlands expected to see temperatures near 25\u00b0C on the same day. By Monday, 6 July<\/strong>, forecasts suggest temperatures <\/a>could reach around 30\u00b0C in London and the South East, while the West Midlands may experience highs of about 27\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Met Office’s longer-range forecast covering 12 to 26 July also points towards generally warmer-than-average conditions. According to the agency, high pressure is considered slightly more likely than low pressure<\/strong> during the early part of that period, increasing the likelihood of settled and drier-than-average weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The forecast also notes that outbreaks of rain and stronger winds remain possible, particularly in northern parts of the UK, while heavy and thundery showers could interrupt warmer conditions. Towards the end of July, the Met Office says there is no reliable signal favouring one particular weather pattern, although temperatures <\/strong>are likely to remain above average overall, with a greater-than-normal chance of hot conditions developing at times.<\/p>\n\n\n\nForecasts Point to Another Period of Hot Weather<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
