London is set for the hottest weather of the year as temperatures are forecasted to exceed 30C. The Met Office predicts a peak of 32C by Saturday, significantly surpassing typical heatwave thresholds. Deputy chief meteorologist Tony Wisson explains that settled weather and warm southerly winds will elevate temperatures across the UK. By this weekend, certain areas could even reach higher temperatures than popular European holiday destinations. However, localised rain may occur depending on humidity as temperatures peak, easing early next week as weather patterns change.
An official heatwave is recorded when areas reach a certain temperature for three consecutive days, with thresholds varying from 25C to 28C in different parts of the UK.
The Met Office predicts temperatures in London could peak at 32C this weekend, marking the hottest temperatures of the year so far.
Tony Wisson stated that warm sunshine and settled weather will contribute to the temperature rise, particularly in London and the east of England.
Despite the heatwave, forecasters warn that some rain is still possible by the end of the week, depending on humidity levels.
