The UK could see more hot weather<\/a>\u00a0towards the end of this week, although thunderstorms and rain<\/a> showers are also likely to roll in.<\/p>\n Temperatures in parts of England could reach 28C or higher by Thursday, with parts of the UK set to be hotter than Spain<\/a>.<\/p>\n Brits woke up to dry and settled weather<\/a> this morning, the Met Office<\/a> said, with further cloud and rainfall possible into Tuesday.<\/p>\n But Met Office meteorologist Honor Criswick said high pressure building across the country will bring warm and humid conditions, with temperatures climbing above the seasonal average in some areas.<\/p>\n \u2018Throughout the week things are\u00a0heating up in the south and the South East. We\u2019ve got high pressure starting to build, and there\u2019s a warm plume moving up through continental Europe,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tSign up for all of the latest stories\t\t\t<\/p>\n Start your day informed with Metro’s News Updates<\/a> newsletter or get Breaking News<\/a> alerts the moment it happens. <\/p>\n \u2018Whether or not it\u2019ll be a\u00a0heatwave<\/a>\u00a0remains to be seen as there\u2019s still a lot to play for, but things are certainly turning a lot warmer, if not maybe even hot, by the end of the week, although this is mostly confined to the South East.\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t The heat is also expected to bring humidity, along with potential clouds and rain. <\/p>\n Londoners will be basking in 28C on Thursday, with partly sunny skies sure to see pubs overflowing with revellers.<\/p>\n The rest of the summer<\/a> could be a scorcher, with the Met Office releasing its three-month outlook, which shows that even hotter weather could be on its way.<\/a><\/p>\n In its\u00a0three-month outlook<\/a>\u00a0published on June 1, the Met Office said the chance of a hot summer is \u2018higher than normal\u2019 and warned of an increased risk of heatwaves and \u2018heat-related impacts\u2019.<\/p>\n \t\t For June, the forecaster said that the next three months are likely to be twice as hot as the years 1991-2020 used as its reference period.<\/p>\n Citing global warming and El Ni\u00f1o,\u00a0a natural weather phenomenon that can push up temperatures<\/a>, as the main drivers of the warmer summer weather, the Met Office said: \u2018An increased chance of hot conditions implies a greater-than-normal chance of heatwaves.\u2019<\/p>\n The Met Office\u2019s outlook also mentions that there will be higher chances of a wet season but stresses that \u2018near average rainfall remains the most likely outcome\u2019.<\/p>\n Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@metro.co.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n For more stories like this, check our news page<\/a>.<\/p>\n Arrow Arrow Arrow![\"FALMOUTH,](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SEI_299007148-1862.jpg\")
