UK weather: Met Office says when we can expect 'hot' conditions

The temperature's rising across the South West and is set to hit as much as 24C by the weekend, the Met Office is forecasting.

We can expect lots of sunshine today (Tuesday) and especially tomorrow before cloud rolls in for Thursday and much of Friday - it could feel quite humid at times.

But Saturday and Sunday is looking very good for sun-lovers with high pressure bringing dry and calm weather and the mercury will rise from highs of 21C or 22C during the week, to 24C on Sunday.

In its UK long-range forecast, the Met Office is saying we can expect to weather to be "very warm, perhaps hot for a time" during the middle of June.

But, as is often the case with the British weather, there is a sting in the tail as we could see some rain, potentially thundery, during the middle of the month.

As June ends, there is likely to be fine and dry weather with above average temperatures.

Full details below

Saturday, June 12 to Monday, June 21

High pressure is likely to bring a lot of dry and settled weather across the country at first. The exception is across the far northwest where occasional spells of cloud and rain accompanied by stronger winds are likely. Temperatures here are expected to be near normal but elsewhere it is expected to be very warm perhaps hot for a time. As we head into the second half of next week, there are signs that less settled conditions could extend to other parts of the country with temperatures returning to nearer normal by the end of the week. This change is likely to be accompanied by a spell of rain, potentially thundery in places, and some stronger winds than of late.

Monday, June 21 to Monday, July 5

A good deal of fine and dry weather across much of the UK for the end of June, although there could be a few showers in places and perhaps some rain in the far north at times. Temperatures are likely to be above average. By the end of June and into early July, conditions will probably become more unsettled with an increasing chance of rain spreading across the UK.
