This week, the UK is experiencing a significant rise in temperatures due to an area of high pressure settling over southern England. Starting Wednesday, highs are expected to reach 27°C, rising to 29°C on Thursday, and possibly exceeding 30°C by Saturday in several locations. Met Office meteorologists note that settled weather, warm sunshine, and southerly winds bringing warm air from continental Europe contribute to this heatwave, particularly affecting the south, east, and parts of Wales and the Midlands.
An area of high pressure over southern England will build across a larger part of the UK through midweek, leading to significant temperature increases.
The combination of settled weather and warm sunshine will allow temperatures to rise day on day, with southern regions likely experiencing the warmest conditions.
By the beginning of the weekend, multiple places could meet heatwave thresholds, especially in London, the East Midlands, and parts of Wales.
We could very well see several places exceeding 30°C, marking the highest temperatures of the year so far.
