The UK is bracing for a potential heat surge, with temperatures projected to reach 32C in some areas by June 16. Following a brief cooling period after a record-breaking May heatwave, advanced weather models indicate a return to warmer conditions starting June 15, with highs of 29C in the south-east and 28C in the north-west. The ECMWF model suggests that 21 counties across England could see temperatures surpass 30C, including regions such as Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, and Essex. While the Met Office notes that high pressure will dominate, leading to settled weather, they also caution about the possibility of heavy showers and thunderstorms. An official heatwave is defined by temperatures exceeding 25C to 28C for three consecutive days, which the current forecasts do not yet confirm. Overall, the weather outlook for June indicates a trend towards above-normal temperatures, particularly in southern areas.
