Exact date 30C heatwave hits UK with ‘exceptionally scorching’ bonus surge to comply with

Good news – summer is back and a heatwave is imminent, according to weather experts.

Despite the weather going from downpours to hot spells to fog and back again, it has finally been confirmed that we’re getting the sustained heatwave we all want . . . and need. According to Exacta Weather’s latest long-term forecast, the middle of August will be a scorcher, but we’ll get a teaser of that in just a 10 days time.

Appearing to fall in line more with what the Met Office and other weather services have been predicting recently, Exacta’s James Madden claims that we’re getting a gradual and significant change in our overall weather pattern to “very warm to very hot conditions” throughout next week and late July.

And this, he claims, culminates in a “very hot or exceptionally hot” day on July 25.

In the long term forecast, Madden states: “The first opportunity following on from the late July heat surge is ‘moderate’ confidence, and we could see the theme staying warm and summery at the very least to potentially hot or very hot in places over a number of days during the early part of August.

“The second opportunity of much ‘higher’ confidence has been repeatedly showing in our forecasts for several weeks now for in and around August 10, and the overall period of August 10-15 looks extremely favourable for some kind of major heat surge due to a strong area of high pressure pushing in across our shores.”

“It is important to note that these potential heatwaves or heat surges in August are bonus heatwaves, so to speak, and were not actually part of our original long-range summer forecast, for which we had expected a quick reversion to the predominant cooler and unsettled conditions of much of the summer to date once again.

“However, as with the mid-to-late June heat surge with temperatures exceeding 30C, which we identified and repeated from late May onwards due to some earlier and repeated forecast indicators that were not in our original projections (still a long range forecast in itself), and this is pretty much the same for this one in and around August 10.”

Basically, it’s going to get extremely hot at the end of July and into August, with a sustained period of heat – also known as a heatwave – hanging around for most of the month. It might finally be a good time to get that barbecue out again.
