A scorching heatwave is poised to set more temperature records in the UK today, but weather predictions indicate that temperatures could soon drop below 10C for many Brits.
Yesterday marked the hottest June day in British history with a temperature of 36.1C recorded in Hampshire, breaking a 50-year-old record. Anticipated temperatures reaching at least 38C today are expected to break that record again shortly. Today is projected to be the hottest day of the year thus far.
Amber and red weather warnings from the Met Office persist across extensive areas of England and Wales today, tomorrow, and Saturday. Following this, a cooling trend is expected on Sunday, with temperatures potentially falling into the single digits on Monday based on the GFS weather model.
GFS forecasts indicate temperatures could plummet to as low as 5C in parts of Scotland on Monday morning. Most of Wales, Northern Ireland, northern England, and the southwest also may experience temperatures below 10C.
Temperature anomaly maps reveal a significant temperature decrease on Monday morning, with areas of blue indicating temperatures well below the typical seasonal average. Data suggests that 54 counties could experience temperatures below 10C on Monday morning.
Looking ahead, the Met Office forecasts rain, showers, and possible thundery outbreaks starting Monday. The outlook for June 29 to July 8 indicates variable conditions initially with periods of rain and showers. The southeast may see drier and brighter weather initially, with a potential return of very warm or hot weather, particularly in the south.
