When Will This Mini-Heatwave Hit?

Marked your calendars? WXCharts has hinted that this glorious burst of summer warmth is set to arrive around June 4. Picture yourself lounging outside with a cool drink as the heat picks up across England, especially from the midlands down to the lovely south coast.

Which Areas Will Experience the Heat?

The hottest spots in the south-east, including iconic London, bustling Crawley, and charming Royal Tunbridge Wells, will be basking under the sun with temperatures hitting that sweet 26°C mark. Can you imagine the parks full of people enjoying their time outdoors?

Don’t worry if you’re living a little farther afield—other cities will also enjoy the warmth! Places like Norwich, Peterborough, Reading, Luton, and Lincoln can expect delightful highs of around 25°C. Sounds like perfect weather for a picnic or a day out, right?

What Can You Expect During the Day?

Get ready for an early start to the heat! As the day unfolds, temperatures will gradually increase, reaching their peak around 1 PM. Plan to make the most of those bright hours! But remember, the warmth will last until about 7 PM, perfect for an evening stroll or outdoor dining.

A Note on the Cooler Regions

Now, not everyone will be soaking in the warmth. Parts of northern England and areas in Scotland might drop down to a chilly 7°C. So, keep that in mind if you’re traveling north! This contrast makes the mini-heatwave even more exciting—like seeing two seasons coexisting.

Windy Conditions Await

Heads up—while it’s warming up, the weather will also serve up some windy conditions! Expect gusts reaching 40mph in bustling places like Manchester, Liverpool, Brighton, and Ipswich. So, if you’ve got plans to sport your favorite hat, be cautious; it might just become a flying object!
