Parts of the UK are set to be hotter than Barcelona on July 1, with weather maps indicating temperatures could reach 36C in some areas. According to WXChart maps, the mercury will soar to 36C in regions around Manchester, Stoke, and Leeds, while Barcelona is expected to see highs of 34C on the same day.
Other parts of England, including London, Birmingham, and Liverpool, may experience temperatures between 32C and 34C. This means Britons heading to the popular Spanish city for a summer getaway can expect weather comparable to the UK's scenic seaside spots.
The Met Office's long-range forecast for June 28 to July 7 suggests a changeable period, with Atlantic low pressure systems bringing rain or showers, particularly in northwestern areas. However, southern and eastern parts may see longer dry spells under higher pressure, with a chance of very warm or locally hot weather as southerly winds bring bursts of hot air from the continent, possibly accompanied by thunderstorms.
