Temperatures in some areas could reach the low or mid 30s (at least 86F) by the end of next week as an area of ​​high pressure building from the Atlantic reaches south and south-west England. While many parts of the UK, and especially in the south, will experience temperatures several degrees above average, Met Office chief forecaster Steve Willington said the hot spell is likely to be “well below the record temperatures we’ve seen in mid July. ”, when thermometers rose above 40 degrees Celsius in some places. From Saturday the weather is set to become “increasingly warmer” in the south, and by Wednesday the mercury could reach 29C in London and the mid-20s for much of southern England and parts of Wales . To qualify as a heatwave, temperatures must reach 28C in London and 25C for much of the rest of the country, for three consecutive days. There is little relief on the horizon for parched areas in southern England, which is bracing for drought after extremely dry conditions with almost no rain forecast. But some wet weather is expected in the north-west of England. Britain’s average temperatures are set to continue rising in the future amid global warming, but how rainfall in the island nation will respond is harder to predict. Scientists say the country could get wetter in winter, but rain will be concentrated on fewer days and the south and east will continue to dry. But these predictions are uncertain. Although drought is not likely to strike more frequently in the coming decades, it is expected to become more frequent in the second half of this century. Water demand often rises when temperatures rise as consumers water gardens and fill swimming pools.

The Met Office said the weather conditions bringing next week’s hot spell are different to those that brought record heat of up to 40.3C last month. July’s unprecedented heat sparked raging fires, bent train tracks, melted roads and saw children sent home from school. The heat intensified in July as already warm air traveling from southern Europe added “our own heat” to the UK, said Rebekah Sherwin, deputy chief meteorologist at the Met Office. “This time, that is much less likely; instead, temperatures will rise steadily within the lingering high pressure area,” he explained. August temperatures also tend to be cooler than July because the sun is lower and the daylight hours are slightly shorter.
