Next week, the UK is set to experience a heatwave with temperatures soaring above 30°C in nine regions, according to WXCharts weather maps using MetDesk data. The warm spell is expected to last several days, potentially marking the first official heatwave of the year.
From Monday, May 25, southern, northern, and midland regions will see temperatures climb into the thirties. London and surrounding counties Hertfordshire and Surrey could reach 31°C on Monday, while Cheshire, the West Midlands, and the Humber area in Yorkshire may hit 30°C. By Thursday, May 28, London could reach 32°C.
The Met Office defines a UK heatwave as at least three consecutive days with daily maximum temperatures exceeding a county-specific threshold. Its long-range forecast indicates high pressure will remain, bringing fine weather and above-normal temperatures, with light winds and only brief rain in northern parts.
