- The UK is anticipating a warmer weekend following a period of unsettled weather , which succeeded May's record-breaking heatwave that saw 26 May become the hottest May day on record for England and Wales.
- Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Greg Wolverson attributed the upcoming change to a northward shift in the jet stream, allowing high pressure to build and bring drier, warmer conditions.
- Saturday is forecast to be more settled in southern areas, with sunny spells and temperatures potentially reaching 22 to 23C, while northern regions are expected to see improving conditions later in the day.
- Sunday is predicted to be widely dry across the UK with further sunshine, and temperatures continuing to rise, with southern England likely to experience the warmest spots at 23 to 24C.
- Despite earlier indications, temperatures are now unlikely to reach 30C, with the mercury expected to hover around the mid-twenties, particularly in the South and South East.
