The UK is set to experience another heatwave, with a new update on the hottest day of the year so far as it could be just days away(Image: PA)<\/p>\n

Brits are gearing up for a sizzling sequel to this year’s summer as another heatwave is anticipated to strike the UK, possibly marking the hottest day of 2023 thus far\u2014it could all kick off in just a matter of days.<\/p>\n

Circle April 27 on your calendars\u2014that’s the expected date heralding a return to hot weather<\/a>, providing a pleasant reprieve from the current slew of dour grey skies and intermittent showers.<\/p>\n

Advanced weather models illustrate the progression throughout the week with splashes of yellow, amber, and orange across Britain\u2019s charts, teasing the onset of our second round of summery warmth.<\/p>\n

Projections from a fresh WXCharts.com map indicate temperatures soaring over 20C nationwide, with a sweltering 26C not off the cards., reports the Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a Met Office forecast covering April 20 to April 29 speaks of “Mainly unsettled conditions are likely across the UK at the start of this period”.<\/p>\n

Adding more detail, the report said: “Showers or longer spells of rain are probable across many regions, these heavy at times with a risk of hail and thunder, perhaps accompanied by strong winds.<\/p>\n

“Some drier and brighter interludes are also likely at times, but probably with large amounts of cloud. Temperatures will generally be near average”.<\/p>\n

Utilising Met Desk data, the WX Chart maps suggest that Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Greater London, Bedfordshire, and Oxfordshire could be in for some of the highest temperatures.<\/p>\n

The Met Office said: “Temperatures will probably be around or slightly above average”.<\/p>\n

The forecast also looks ahead to mid-May temperatures, with the report indicating: “Late April into early May will probably see a good deal of settled weather with high pressure patterns most likely to dominate”.<\/p>\n

Yet, it notes that “whilst some spells of more unsettled weather are possible at times – these perhaps more likely towards mid-May – much of the period is expected to be largely fine and dry. Temperatures are expected to be near or slightly above average”.<\/p>\n

The BBC<\/a> predicts a cooler Wednesday, with rain expected in northern and western parts of the UK, but conditions improving on Thursday to warmer and drier weather.<\/p>\n

Friday, however, is set to bring changes, as an Atlantic low ushers in rain across Ireland, Wales, and Scotland, while eastern England should remain dry.<\/p>\n

Looking forward to May, the BBC’s outlook is positive, anticipating ‘a near-average rainfall and modest warm anomalies’.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The UK is set to experience another heatwave, with a new update on the hottest day of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":33543,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8818],"tags":[192,381,748,393,4884,16,15,741],"class_list":{"0":"post-33542","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bristol","8":"tag-bbc","9":"tag-bristol","10":"tag-britain","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-weather"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114365938058560491","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33542","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33542"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33542\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33543"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33542"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33542"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
