Will There Be a Heatwave in the UK This Weekend? Forecasters Reveal Chances

BBC Weather says unsettled conditions and rain will continue, with only brief warmth reaching 26C and no area meeting heatwave criteria.

  • BBC Weather ruled out a heatwave this weekend despite temperatures climbing to 22–26 Celsius in England and Wales, stating 'there is currently nothing to indicate that a heatwave is on the cards.'
  • Warm, humid air is pushing temperatures into the mid-20s Celsius across much of the UK, with Monday looking to be the warmest day; forecasters say the warm spell will be short-lived and does not meet heatwave criteria, which requires three consecutive days above regional thresholds.
  • A southeast-northwest split dominates the weekend, with rain spreading south during Saturday and potentially turning heavy with thunder and lightning; Sunday's clearing conditions bring a dry afternoon for much of the UK.
  • Cooler conditions are due to return by midweek, ending the brief warm spell as BBC Weather's computer models suggest unsettled weather will continue over the next week with spells of rain and potentially blustery winds.
  • As autumn advances and nights become longer, high pressure overhead could lead to some rather chilly mornings, while the incoming wet weather offers relief for drought-stricken regions across England and Wales.
