US EditionWhat Will the Weather Be Like in Darlington and County Durham This Week?
- On June 1, 2025, the Met Office forecasted that the probability of the UK experiencing a hot summer between June 1 and August 31 is more than double the average likelihood.
- This forecast comes after the UK experienced its driest spring in over 100 years, accompanied by an unprecedented amount of sunshine totaling around 630 hours from early March through late May.
- The outlook indicates average summer temperatures ranging from 10C to 17C across the UK, with higher averages of 16C to 17C in southeast England, and warns of an increased heatwave risk.
- The Met Office noted that although there is a higher likelihood of warmer-than-usual temperatures, this does not ensure an extended period of hot weather or heatwaves; however, heatwave conditions may still occur occasionally.
- The prediction suggests the UK should prepare for warmer conditions with near-average rainfall and wind speeds, but also remain aware of potential heat-related impacts this summer.
