Exact date UK temperatures to soar as Mediterranean airstream will blast Brits
Temperatures are set to rise yet again thanks to a Mediterranean airstream.
The event is likely to bring on another spate of hot weather in July, with the mercury rising to nearly 30C. It comes after much of the UK struggled through a heatwave last week.
The unusually hot temperatures have now come to an end, with a downpour expected to pummel most of the country later this week. The forecast however signals a return to beach weather shortly afterwards as the latest heatwave is set to reach its peak on July 14, according to Netweather.

Greater London and its neighbouring counties will see the hottest weather – around 30C – however southwest England will also see temperatures in excess of 25C, meaning there should be warm weather for many of us.
The heatwave was similarly predicted by James Madden of Exacta Weather, who predicted a “mixed week to come with a significant and imminent pattern change later to allow for the mid-July heat.”

Madden said low pressure will bring cooler and windy weather to the UK, particularly across parts of the north and in Scotland and Ireland around Thursday, July 4. Despite this, the weather could stay warm at times, with temperatures ranging in the low to mid-20s for parts of the south and east.
He added: “We now expect the more southern-driven jet stream to start to drive northwards from in and around this time next week and during the following week, starting on July 8th.

“This will allow for our shores to come under a much warmer airflow over an extended period from this pattern change, and it will also place us in an extremely favourable position for high pressure rises and some hot to very hot temperatures on a widespread scale from in and around mid-July and throughout much of the second half of the month.”
The Met Office’s forecast also supported the chance of an incoming heatwave, with “temperatures close to average at first, but with a greater chance of warmer than average conditions later in the period” expected from Sunday, July 14.
