Exact date 13 regions could see 38C as heatwave maps turn deep red
New maps show exactly when temperatures in 13 areas could rise as high as 38C this month following a Met Office warning over scorching heatwaves similar to the summer of 2022 As many as 13 counties could see temperatures rise to a sweltering 38C this month as heatwave season appears to be well underway in the UK. The Met Office has already said the mercury could hit 33C across southern regions this coming weekend, but now advanced weather maps suggest it will go even higher before the end of June. The GFS weather model shows temperatures could reach 30C or above across almost all of England on June 29, with 33C coming in the north-west, Midlands and along the south coast. Temperatures in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are expected to rise into the mid-20Cs. The following day, June 30, could be a record breaker as 13 counties across central, eastern and southern England could see 38C temperatures, according to the GFS model. This would smash the previous record temperature for June, which is 35.6C from Southampton in 1976. The counties are: Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Rutland, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Middlesex, Kent, and Sussex. Weather maps suggest July will start the same way June ends, with temperatures possibly rising over 30C in the north-west, East Anglia and the Midlands on July 1. These temperatures would constitute an official heatwave, declared when regions surpass the heatwave threshold for three consecutive days. That threshold varies from 25C to 28C across the UK. This comes after the Met Office warned there was a 50% chance of the UK seeing a repeat of the infamous 2022 heatwave - during which temperatures topped 40C for the first time ever - within the next 12 years. The meteorological experts also warned that far higher temperatures of 45C or more 'may be possible' in today's climate, while heatwaves could go on for a month or more. Temperatures peaked at 40.3C in Coningsby in Lincolnshire on July 19 2022, outstripping the previous top temperature of 38.7C in Cambridge, set just three years earlier, by 1.6C. Major incidents were announced by fire brigades in London, Leicestershire and South Yorkshire as dozens of fires broke out and ripped through houses, schools, churches and farmland, while there was widespread disruption to transport and power systems. More than 1,000 excess deaths among older people were recorded around the four-day peak of the heatwave, with more than 3,000 heat-related deaths in England over summer 2022. Analysis by the Met Office, using global models to create a large number of climate outcomes in current conditions, shows the risk of 40C temperatures in the UK has been rapidly increasing. Dr Gillian Kay, senior scientist at the Met Office, and lead author of the study, said: 'The chance of exceeding 40C has been rapidly increasing, and it is now over 20 times more likely than it was in the 1960s. 'Because our climate continues to warm, we can expect the chance to keep rising. We estimate a 50:50 chance of seeing a 40C day again in the next 12 years. We also found that temperatures several degrees higher than we saw in July 2022 are possible in today's climate.' Met Office weather outlook Thursday: Rain across Scotland will steadily clear northwards. Elsewhere dry with sunny spells, but the odd shower in the far southwest later. Breezier, especially in the southwest, but still very warm. Outlook for Friday to Sunday: Mostly dry and settled weather with very warm or hot sunshine. Humid in the north and west with scattered thundery showers possible. Turning fresher for many by Sunday.

UK on health alert as North Wales sizzles in 29C with signs of second heatwave next week
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Yellow heat health alerts have been issued with exceptionally hot conditions due to settle over the UK. While the heat is expected to ebb away from Sunday, June 22, some weather models suggest a re-run the following week. At one point, the GFS system was projecting temperatures up 35C near the Wales-England border at the turn of the month, with highs of 33C in parts of Wales. Had this materialised, a weather extreme set 132 years ago might have been threatened in Wales. This modelled forecast has since been scaled back – but 6pm temperatures of 31-32C are still projected for large areas of eastern England on Friday, June 27. If this plume of warm air is drawn in from the Continent, it could leave Wales basking in another spell of hot weather, especially on the North Wales coast. This model run indicates a four-day blast of heat running from Thursday to Sunday, June 26-29. Like this week's heatwave, the deja vu forecast for next week suggests cooler conditions heading into July. Before you make plans, it should be stressed this is just one model run that lies at the edge of what's possible. Other simulations don't project this far ahead, or paint a slightly different picture. The North Wales Live Whatsapp community for top stories and breaking news is live now - here's how to sign up The Met Office currently believes that, next week, the mercury will be 'near to or above normal'. At this point, it's highly unlikely the June temperature record for Wales will be at risk – it stands at 33.7C, set in Machynlleth, Powys, on June 18, 1893. (Image: WXCharts) Yet some forecasters are wondering if England's June record could be threatened later this week. The Met Office doesn't think so - its currently predicting a possible high of 33C - not enough to beat the June record of 35.6C set in Southampton during the long heatwave of summer 1976. So far the warmest day of the year was 29.4C on June 13, recorded at Santon Downham, Suffolk. Others suspect weekend temperatures could come close, thanks to the kind of atmospheric conditions 'rarely' seen in the UK in June. Some online forecasters suggest some areas of England may see peaks of 34-35C and 'potentially even higher on Sunday'. In England, the Met Office said there is a 'small chance' temperatures could approach mid-30C in some places. It added: 'Heatwave thresholds may continue to be exceeded across parts of the UK at first. Temperatures overnight will also be very warm and perhaps humid for much of the UK.' (Image: WXCharts) Already, yellow heat health alerts have been issued for most of England, including the West Midlands but not the North West. These come into force at 12pm on Wednesday and last until 6pm on Sunday. The heat will extend to Wales, with Wrexham currently predicted to hit 27C on Thursday (June 19), and 29C on Friday (June 20). Friday is also forecast to bring temperatures of 29C in Welshpool. Elsewhere it could hit 28C in St Asaph and Ruthin, and 27C in most other parts of North Wales. Temperatures in northern Anglesey is expected to be a little lower. Saturday is expected to be slightly cooler with the chance of rain on the Eryri mountains. More stepdowns are forecasted for Sunday and Monday, though there are a few signs the heat may linger into the start of next week. This uncertainty is reflected on some model runs, one of which is forecasting 28C in Llandudno on Sunday. Sign up for the North Wales Live newsletter sent twice daily to your inbox For the most part, this week is forecasted to stay dry – though northwest Wales has seen some rain today (Tuesday, March 17). When it comes to next week, the jury is still out: the Met Office says there are 'signs' rain and showers may move in from the west. Some models indicate these could be heavy, other suggest only a few drops. With some signs of more heat to come later next week, it opens up the possibility of a similar scenario playing out all over again. Find the weather forecast where you live
