UK heatwave: Where is forecast to see the highest temperatures?

With the weather in the last few weeks being unseasonably cool, what can we expect when it comes to the forecast for the coming days?

00:00You can see we've got high pressure centred over the continent. That could allow some

00:05quite heavy showers to break out, which they may spread into southeastern areas, but that's

00:09looking fairly unlikely at this stage. It actually looks like high pressure will dominate

00:14with low pressure not too far away from the north and west. So probably cloudier skies

00:19compared to the south and east or many, many areas of southern England and Wales as well.

00:25And more rain as well. Now, in the south and east, that's where we could start to see

00:29temperatures climb into the high 20s, possibly the low 30s. Well, the most likely regime

00:36is set to change a little. This is the most likely regime by Friday the 2nd of August.

00:40So into the beginning of August here. And actually, those low pressure systems that

00:44were centred more to the north of the UK will probably start to shift a little bit further

00:48south, becoming more dominant across the UK, spreading wetter weather, cooler weather more

00:53widely with the best of any drier and brighter weather across southeastern areas.
