Next week, temperatures in parts of England are expected to soar above 30C (86F), prompting yellow heat health alerts to be issued by the UK Health Security Agency. The alerts cover all regions except for the north-east and north-west and will be in effect from 12:00 BST on Monday until 18:00 BST on Wednesday. This heatwave will be fueled by warm air moving up from the south due to a high-pressure system drifting across the south of the UK and an area of low pressure with remnants of Tropical Storm Dexter in the Atlantic.
While England and Wales will bask in sunshine, scattered thunderstorms are predicted, with outbreaks of rain expected in Northern Ireland and Scotland. This shift in weather conditions follows Storm Floris, which caused havoc in some parts of the UK earlier in the week. The weekend is expected to start on a mixed note, with a weather front bringing rain and strong winds southwards across Scotland and Northern Ireland on Saturday. However, other areas will enjoy warm sunshine and a few scattered showers.
As high pressure builds from the south on Sunday, most parts of the UK can anticipate sunny weather, with temperatures reaching 26-28C (79-82F) in central and south-eastern England. The remnants of Tropical Storm Dexter will bring rain to western Scotland and Northern Ireland, leading to even warmer air being drawn northwards at the start of the new week. Temperatures in England and Wales are likely to peak at 27-31C (81-88F) on Monday and Tuesday, with a chance of some places hitting 32-33C (90-92F).
Despite the general expectation for lower temperatures with the shift to air flow from the Atlantic by the end of next week, some areas in southern and eastern parts of the UK may retain warmth for a while. Long-range forecasts indicate the likelihood of more very warm or hot weather spells in August, particularly in the south and east, interspersed with periods of much-needed rain
