Met Office Maps Reveal Hottest June Day: 22 Areas at 24C or Above

The Met Office has released weather maps indicating the hottest day in June so far, with 22 areas across London and the surrounding regions forecast to reach 24 degrees Celsius or higher during the afternoon peak. This comes after a cold start to the month, a stark contrast to the hot May that preceded it.

Warmest Day of the Forecast Period

Weather maps for Friday, June 19, show the highest temperatures in the current forecast cycle. As this date is the furthest out in the outlook, long-range predictions are subject to change. However, current data suggests a pleasant afternoon across much of the UK. Coastal areas are expected to remain comfortable, with temperatures averaging around 20C.

In line with typical British weather, southeast England is predicted to be the warmest region, with London reaching 25C by 1pm. Further north, Birmingham and Peterborough are forecast to hit 23C, while Manchester, York, and Newcastle will see highs around 20C. Scotland will remain cooler, with daytime temperatures between 15C and 17C.

Met Office Long-Range Forecast

The Met Office's long-range forecast for June 15-24 states: "Fine and dry across much of the UK for the first couple of days of this period with long spells of sunshine for most. Temperatures are likely to be above normal and parts of the south could be very warm for a time. Just a chance of some thunderstorms, more likely toward the southwest."

"A more unsettled spell is likely through the middle of next week with outbreaks of rain in the north and northwest, some of which could spread to parts of the south and southeast. After this, high pressure will probably become more dominant with conditions turning widely dry and settled, and probably very warm for many."
