Hot weather maps show England roasting in 30C heat in days

Following a sizzling start to the summer, the UK has been experiencing more unsettled conditions in recent weeks, dampening summer spirits. However, sun-loving Brits will be pleased to hear that a blistering 30C heat bomb is making its way to England.

WXCHARTS weather maps have turned a deep red colour indicating that millions will soon bask in balmy weather and boiling conditions will once again make an appearance. The mercury is set to soar on Tuesday August 5 with temperatures forecast to be in their late 20s by midday. WXCHARTS show that large swathes of southern and central England could experience a significant temperature spike.

At 12pm on August 5 London, Surrey, Cornwall and Devon will already see highs of 26C. Meanwhile the rest of south west and south east England are likely to see temperatures peak at 25C.

The east of England and south Wales will also see 25C whilst the midlands will be a degree cooler at 24C.

By 6pm temperatures are predicted to be in their 30s. Southampton, Bournemouth, Oxford, Gloucester and Cheltenham will also bask in 30C weather. Meanwhile, the south east and east of England will see highs of 28C.

Key cities in the south west, including Bath and Bristol, could potentially see temperatures hit 30C, with 29C forecast.

The east and west Midlands will not miss out on the heatwave with highs of 28C likely.

Parts of south and mid Wales will bask in 27C weather. Elsewhere, Yorkshire and the Humber will see the mercury hover around 22C. The northwest will be significantly cooler, with temperatures forecast to reach only a rather miserable 17C.

The balmy weather for millions will not end there. At 6 p.m. on Wednesday, August 6, the mercury will hover between 27C and 28C for those in southern England.

Meanwhile the west and east midlands will see a return of the warm weather with highs of 27C forecast. However, those in the north west will once again fail to see the mercury reach the 20s with highs of 17C likely.

Separately, in the Met Office's weather outlook for this period, the forecaster said: "During early August, high pressure may start to have greater influence as it builds northeast across the country. This is bringing more prolonged settled spells to many areas. Breeziest conditions across the north of the country. Temperatures generally near average, though with some warmer spells likely."
