UK weather: Met Office predicts sunny skies across the country
The British have roasted at scorching highs of 28C this week, after weeks of rain and gray skies in May. Tyler Roys, senior meteorologist and chief European forecaster at AccuWeather, has now predicted the hot weather could linger for a staggering 100 days (three months) until September. He added that the UK could see temperatures soar to “above normal” highs of 30 ° C in south-east England during the summer.
He told Express.co.uk: “Much of this summer will be closer to what is expected… near normal.
“The best chance for any significant heat (above 30 ° C for the south of England) will occur in July and early August.
“What we expect for this summer are roller-coaster temperatures with a few days below normal and a few days above normal.
“At the moment we don’t expect prolonged heat this summer, at best the south of England will be on the verge of hot weather.

“Further north in Scotland it will be wetter than normal, but we cannot rule out temperatures being slightly above normal elsewhere from late August to September as well.”
Temperatures are also expected to continue to approach 30C around the end of June in the southeast, according to WCHARTS.
Essex, London and Kent could see scorching highs of 22C on Wednesday, June 16, which could mark the onset of the summer heat.
Further north, Birmingham and Peterborough could bask in highs of 18C on the same day, while Manchester and Leeds are slightly cooler at 13C.

Brian Gaze, a Weather Outlook forecaster, added that warm conditions are expected to persist through August, although brief disruptions to the rain could strike as well.
He said in his summer forecast: “Mixed weather for much of July, although the focus may be on drier and warmer conditions early on.
“Temperatures on the whole are preferred to be close to the seasonal average.
“The second half could be increasingly unstable with the likelihood of heavy rain showers.

“However, drier and warmer periods are still likely.
“Although temperatures are expected to be near the seasonal average overall, significant variations are possible.”
Mr Gaze then added that the second half of August could see a “very hot period”.
He said: “The driest weather is likely to be in the south and east, but an increased risk of heavy showers or thunderstorms means local variations could be significant.

“Lots of good dry weather across much of the UK for the end of June.
“There could be a few showers in places and maybe rain at times in the far north.
“Temperatures are likely to be above average.”
Another forecaster believes the heatwave could become even more intense in the coming days.
Weather Outlook’s GEFS maximum temperature charts for June show parts of the UK will reach 36 ° C (96 ° F) on June 16.
The intense should focus on London.
